texture on surface darkened (3ds max & vray)

Jon Edvard

greetings -

this roadway was created using the sweep modifier with a road section shape (spline.)

from the view overhead - everything appears fine. however - in the camera view - the curb on the right and traveling on thru towards the end of the road - is very dark?

it appears this way in the camera view and the render.

i applied the textures to the shape as section id(s) - fyi.

thanks to all in advance!

clearly it's a vray issue that i will have to resolve.

it's appears quite fine in perspective mode - but the vraycamera shares a different story!

any suggestions?
