Hi - not sure what section this should be under, so I put it in the general.  I have an object, in this case a sphere that I did a smooth bind to a joint.  When the sphere is facing the front the object is well lit - when I rotate the sphere toward the back side of it - it is dark (attached pic).  In this example I have default lighting, so it isn’t a lighting issue.  When I detach the skin and rotate the sphere - there is no darkness from any angle - it’s fine.  So the issue is when it is bound to the joint… does anyone know why it is doing this - is there a setting I am missing?  Thanks for any help.
