Hey guys. I made a simple ball in Swift and then had a simple light effect. I didn’t change the lighitng effects or anything. All I have is a little ball…When I went to publish and export however, the ball went from a neat 3d looking object to just a circle. It was only one color and definetly not 3d. Anyone have an idea why this happens? What settings do I need so that when I export I get the lighting effect also?\r\rThanks!

Check your fill settings. It’s probebly set on single color cartoon fill instead of mesh gradient. Experiment with each setting to find a good balance of file size verse quality.
