check out the amount of light on this model http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/490600/an/0/page/0#490600

exported with GE SU at the default location , Boulder, Co.


in su there is a geo location setting for light/shading , possibly that is the key to greys rendering dark, you can set the location of your model for lighting by Window Menu > Model info > Locaton. This is in SU Pro, GE SU does not have this menu selection.
