How do I turn off this weird shading effect?

Setting your graphics quality to max will make a weird shading effect on all parts in the game, is there a way to fix this?

You can try tinkering with some of the settings and/or adding some effects into lighting.

That’s from ambient occlusion. I believe you can fix it by setting all of the lighting normals to the same direction (probably directly downwards would be best).

@OP:

Here is some code to paste into the command bar to create these settings:

-- Lighting Settings
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
Lighting.Brightness = 0
Lighting.Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
Lighting.OutdoorAmbient = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
Lighting.GlobalShadows = false
Lighting.Technology = Enum.Technology.Voxel  -- Only works in cmd bar

-- Part Settings
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")

for _, instance in ipairs(Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
    if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
        instance.CastShadow = false
        instance.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic  -- Optional
    end
end

Doesnt work, looks like this ambient occlusion issue has been going on for a while:
