Sorry but when I load up models in DBPro they seem to be very dull compared to when there rendered (with I assume OpenGL) in programs like Milkshape or LithUnwrap.

This isn't a huge issue, but I am wondering whether this is a problem with DBPro, DirectX, or is there something I can do with my code to add lustre to my objects?

Finally, when I use the color object command, it seems to shade the colors by making the closer to neutral grey? Why?
In most of the rendering things I have seen it shades them to black and retains the saturation of the color. However, when I color a sphere orange the very bottom appears to be neutral grey. I think these may be the same problem?

Is there any way by manipulating the reactivity to ambient light, or modifying some property of the object/settings I can have the objects rendered without this dullness?

Don't use the color object command. Instead, use:

set object ambient 1,1
set object ambience 1,rgb(your color value here)
set object specular 1,rgb(0,0,0)
set object emissive 1,rgb(0,0,0)
set object diffuse 1,rgb(your color value here)

Add 'set ambient light 0' to the top of your program. That will make it shade to black. Looks much much better.

The dull look could be becuase you're in a crap video mode. In settings in the bottom right change to full screen exclusive mode.
