    That's just a shot of the viewport, not a render, right?

     The default shaders are different and the G3F loads with a subsurface shader, on, so that is what you are seeing in th viewport

    Also, if it's just the camera's headlamp, then shadows won't be correct, anyway.

    But it should look much better/correct rendered.

    Thanks. Is there a way to get a proper lighting preview of the g3f? How do you turn off the subsurface shader if thats whats causing it.

    The OpenGL implementation used for displaying the viewport doesn't really do shadows very well, so no, you won't get an accurate 'live view'.  Spot rendering will help.

    There is a slider for the SSS on/off in the Surfaces tab, for the particular surface.

    Also having a 'real' light in the scene as opposed to camera's headlamp will do some 'preview' shadowing...if shadows are turned on.
