Hello Stephanie,
The lighting sometimes can get messed up if you do a GPA on the surface
(pass it through the GPA node).
There is no easy solution but there may be a workaround, but it requires
you to change the network a little.
You could try to export the procrustes fitted surface, import again, and
use it without sending it through the GPA node.
This is what you have to do:
Export the surface
- connect the surface output of the GPA node to an Export node.
- run the network again
- export the surface from the Export node
Then Import the surface again.
- select the newly exported surface file from the Import node
Use the surface in your network without sending it through the GPA node.
- delete the links that lead to and from the surface ports of the GPA node
- connect the surface directly from the Import Node to the Warper node.
- run the network again
If that does not work,
you could also try to save the surface in another format (for example
*.ply).
Hope this helps,

Hi all,
I am using the EVAN Toolbox v.1.52 and am having trouble getting the
light to shine on the appropriate area of the object during surface
warping in the 3D viewer.
For example, the light will be shining on the inferior and posterior
portions of the skull I am warping. However I would prefer to show the
warpings in sagittal view but am unable to since the surface is
completely black.
Can the lighting be controlled within the Toolbox? If not, is there a
way I can change where the light shines in the .stl surface file before
loading it into the Toolbox?
Sincerely,
