Hey, recently I have been creating a simple 1st person OpenGL program. I have everything set up from the lights to terrain and controlls. My problem is that, when facing directly down the z axis (towards the negative z values) my terrain which is created from triangle strips appears very dark. When I move to the other side of the terrain and look the opposite way I was, at the same spot on the terrain, it is fully lit. Can anybody help me? A complication is that this only happens to my terrain, not the other models. I thought a few possiblilities for that were the fact that the terrain had no normals, and it was a triangle strip, not just gl_triangles?
