I am new to 3D visualization, and wonder how people usually control the “shadows”. When I visualize the grid below the colors are too dark as if the light source was behind the cube by default: [image] Is there a recommended set of defaults to make the colors look more vivid?

Maybe this issue is specific to WGLMakie? I’ve noticed some differences from GLMakie.
