3D Render looks weird

Layout
1

Every-time I render the 3D image in PCBnew, the image looks different from the realistic PCB defined in colour settings.

Under Preferences check the “Realistic Mode” and also check the type of renderer you have selected and the options. I can’t say much more since you have given very little information.

That’s it. The first one is correct. I had to switch to realistic mode.

It’s small things like this which catch me off guard.

Thanks cbernardo

There is also the option at bottom: Preferences -> “Reset to default settings” if you are in panic!

Thanks. That should save a lot of time.
