I know this is a noob problem, but i can't figure out why my editable poly turns black at this specific angle. I've messed with the smoothing groups, normals, but i have no luck

It looks like the viewport default light's shadows to me. Maybe switch to flat lighting if you wanna see the raw colour data?

Not sure if this would fix it or not...but try adding your own lights instead of just using the default lighting.

I'm never gonna live this one down. Thanks for the reply gsokol, you were right.

Pro Tip: No question is 'too basic', but you'll do yourself and others a service if you name your threads appropriately so that they can be found later on by others via a search. Help others learn from your mistakes. No one will ever think to look for this solution inside of a thread titled "Rainbow Road", :P

you're right, I'll remember that for next time, but part of the problem was that i didn't know what the problem was in the first place.
