Normals not working?

Question

so im making this skull/brain thingy. i make the skull and imported the brain. and as you can see are the faces on the brain much darker. i fixed the normals and imported it to unity where i could se all the faces but the brain was still "wierd". i cant seem to figure out a way to make the brain and skull look the same look. notice the shadow on the brain in unity looks kinda metalic

Since your normals seem to be pointing outside, it's hard to give advice. So consider uploading your blend file, so that someone can have a closer look at it. — Grimm, Nov 29 '17 at 13:26

It can happen somethimes that the tool to correct the normals (Ctrl+N, normals_make_consistent) puts all the normal inside. It is usually linked to a bad topology.

A quick way to fix that is to flip all the normals (they are consistent, but all in the wrong direction).

To do that

go to edit mode
select all vertices
press space and search for "Flip normals" Or hit ctrl+f and chose Flip Normals
