Bad shadows no matter what I do

Hello,
I have a serious problem when it comes to imported models. Everytime I build the lighting, weird shadows appear on the mesh. I’m desparate as I’ve been trying to solve this for the past few days.
Nothing I read online regarding this topic works for me. I tried recreating the UV lightmap several times, but the shadows appear every time. I even separated the mesh into pieces and created lightmap for each one, but the issue still prevails. Increasing the lightmap resolution also doesn’t work.
If anyone cal help me, I would be tremendously grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Hi!

Could you show us the lightmap uv of the problematic mesh(es)?

Hello,
thank you so much for the reply! I am truly grateful you are willing to help, but I managed to solve the problem already. Turns out the problem was in fact the light map. Previously I relied on blender’s automatic unwrapping, but as soon as I unwrapped the model manually, the shadows started showing correctly.
Thank you for the reply though, it is very appreciated to see someone trying to help! :slight_smile:

The problem was in the light map after all. Previously I used the blender’s automatic unwrapping. Insted of relying on that, I unwrapped the model manually. That fixed the issue.

I’m glad that you found the solution!! …and thanks for the nice words!! :wink:
