In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

as you can see there are random spots that are brighter than the rest of the texture (especially bad on the head area)

Looks like there are issues with the normals.

Do:

Normals > Unlock normals.
Normals > Set to face.
Normals > Soften edges.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

WAIT I FIXED IT, I think... THANKS

I curiously pressed a button "Set Vertex Normal" as shown in the picture AND NOW ITS FIXED even though the Lighting looks dark, I compared it to the "High Quality Viewport Render" AND it looks the same..

A million Thanks man......

Also... I turned up the Translucence to brighten the texture (and added a few lights that didn't really seem to help much) (even though it's a dark texture in the first place, atleast it's not as dark) ...again, Thanks alot man
