Gray scene, normal game view

Question

I don’t know what I did but my scene became gray, and to be more funnier i was doing my Start menu scene and not main (game) scene… Here is when i zoom in scene normally

Please help

And if you are talking about the Scrolling of over all things/assets of your scene, then it's a normal behavior. .When you scroll out in the scene view, you are actually moving AWAY from your applied assets etc..But your game view remains in the same position as before, because your camera is actually focusing your overall canvas,assets etc..and game view is basically how IT'S IN ACTUAL FORM! :) So no need to worry about!

Answer 1

Yup. I found the reason. If you start typing in the search bar (in the tab listing GameObjects in the scene) it grays out everything except the things that the search found. I did this to myself today when I typed in there by accident.

Thanks, this was exactly my problem @Connorses

I had a similar problem - the Scene view only shows the skybox. If you look at the Heirarchy tab, the top item is the scene name. To the left of the scene name, hidden unless you mouse over it, is an eyeball icon. It will let you hide everything in your scene with one click. The icons are small, so I didn't notice them for a while. Clicking the crossed out eyeball icon will show everything in the scene again.

Answer 2

do you have a camera in your scene? It seems to me, that either you unchecked the camera or you have no camera attached! if yes, then go to Gameobjects & create camera. Let me know @Puffery if it solves the problem

I had the Follow Target Script on my character still, which maintained the offset. I removed it, and now it rotates. Thank you!!!!!

Answer 4

happens to me as well, randomly. When it happens, I just make another game scene tab (right-click and click add tab; Game) and it turns back to a normal game scene view

Answer 5

For me this happens everytime when I search something in project tree

Can I manually set the offset if I wanted? My game will have close to 100 Scenes and I want to stay consistent

So its solved now ??

Answer 6

Top right of Scene Window there is a search bar. Delete whats inside there.
You can search for component references within the Scene Window.

Answer 7

Old thread but this came up when I was looking. My issue was that fog was enabled in the lighting settings. Go to Window > Rendering > Lighting Settings and scroll to the bottom of the window to Other Settings and turn the fog off.

Answer 8

I’m surprise that no one has answered more clear to this issue.
It happens when you start typing on the ‘Hierarchy’ tab or, as it happened to me, while playing with functionality I pressed “Find Reference in Scene” (which added the search ref in the hierarchy search by without me doing it) I lost good amount of time.

So the search by is here

Remove any text, you can use the ‘x’ button inside the search bad, it will go back to normal
