Trouble with Normals

[codepoet]

I have been trying to procedurally build a model using the unity Mesh object. It is slowly coming together, however it looks a bit funny. Here are some pictures...

The problem I have got is the striping effect from top to bottom along the sides of the part. The texture for the part is just a green to white gradient. I believe that it has somethign to do with the normals, but I can not work out what. I intend to supply my own normals, buy have also tried alloing RecalculateNormals on the Mesh object.

Can anyone suggest what the problem is?

Perhaps Inverting or Flipping the Normals would help? I think you'd do that in your 3D app.

Well I have tried changing the normals around, and I think I have got them correct. Be aware that there is no "3d app" as I am generating the whole mesh procedurally (ie in code).

Any other suggestions as to what the problem is?

It turns out that it does not look so bad in flight:

I wonder if the lighting is different in the VAB, or it has something to do with my rendering settings.

All in code, eh? Nice work then. As to your comment, I think both apply. I think lighting in the VAB/ SPH is restricted or limited to some extent, relative to the dynamic game state. I do encounter rendering differences between apps (Blender, Unity and KSP). I usually have to tweak my render settings to get what I want.
