Hello guys,

I have been having some problems where my models look very dark (particularly the collision meshes and the visual meshes. I have attached here some screenshots of my models and also of the pneunet gripper tutorial

OS is: Ubuntu 24.04
Version 25.06.99
Intalled using --preset=supported-plugins -DPLUGIN_SOFACUDA=OFF -DPLUGIN_CGALPLUGIN=OFF.

does someone know how can I fix this problem?

HI @tolstoys19

Could you try reverting the following commit / PR #5490 and recompile ?

[alxbilger]

@hugtalbot I don't think it's due to #5490 because I made this PR in the objective to solve this issue. So, instead, I would update SOFA to see if it fixes the problem.

Sorry for the delayed response. I am currently writting a grant proposal and I have the deadline for Friday so I'd appreciate it if you can give me a bit of time.

Hello, I I was trying to revert the changes and rebuild as you suuggested. But I am getting some strange problems with cuda (eventhough I have the SofaPlugin turned off in my cmake commands. I do have the SOFACuda plugin downloaded but the cmake files mentioned inn the terminal are cmake.in and even if I add the path it doesn't change anything. If I tried just removing the .in out of the cmake to see what happened then I get parsing problems.
