My character's face have some weird shadow (CGtrader Character purchase and import in unreal engine)


Hello!
I purchase a low-poly character in CGtrader and import in unreal engine 5.2

I import my character, but there are some problems.

as you can see
my character’s face and hand have some weird shadow

I apply the character’s body and clothes texture, but there is no more place to put hand and head material (second picture).

how can I fix this problem? I’m really desperate to solve this problem :joy::joy:

Those don’t look Like shadows that’s due to inverted normals. Load the model in Blender and do recalculate normals then import the model in ue5

Hi!
Thank you for your answer.

I solve that black issue, but another problem new…

my character’s body color just black.
I apply body and head texture, but body’s color is just black…

you need to fix the normal when you only select the body and overturn it. The reason you cause it just because your head’s normal is different with your body, and if you just select all mesh to overturn the normal you will make the right normal for body turn it back and cause black. So you just need to select body and overturn the normal that will make it right.

Did you correct the first problem in a blender? If so how did you do it?

I changed my Blender export option, but there are still some problems like that image I uploaded… Why my character’s body turn in black? hahahahaha😂

Can you recommend some youtube video that I can learn? I’m a noob in blender field…

there are too many youtube videos to learn from.

for fact i’m not good at Blender but good at Max.
i know how to do with that but i could not go on the Youtube because the wall.
i can fix it if you export your file. that just the easy thing because of the normal.
Max and Maya also can fix it too.

As the same way that Max and Maya do in Blender way.

Blender should be can select the head as element, and just make it reverse can solve the problem. Remember do not reverse whole mesh, just select your head to reverse.

Or you can upload your file, i will try to fix it ASA i see the notification.
