I am trying to get mesh normals and lights working in LibGDX project.
I already have textured mesh generated from heightmap texture pixels.
The problem is I cannot get normals lighted up correctly. Also Im not 100% sure I have normal vertices correctly set up in TerrainChunk class.
Heres the main class code:

What Im seeing is when I move camera the lights dont show correctly when I'm above terrain. They show more when Im under the terrain, though incorrectly even then I think.
