Symptoms
- Body glows bright white after painting
- Camouflage visible from across the room
- After v2.9.0: intentional glow paint looks like a lantern because brightness is too high
Fixes
- Re-sample color from a neutral mid-tone surface — not light hotspots or neon.
- Raise roughness for drywall/fabric; avoid max metallic unless the prop is metal.
- If using glow / glow-in-the-dark paint (v2.9.0+): lower the brightness slider until you match nearby LEDs/neon — not open walls.
- Toggle see-through drawing view (key 3 on default layouts).
- On Workshop maps, retest after lighting changes.
