Everest VR

Hey,

The game works, it's using 4.11.2.
HOWEVER, I think there are some issues with the mesh normals. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Clearly something is wrong, this is only happening to this game so far.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Probably these meshes were optimized with Simplygon, sometimes it creates bad normals - especially when reduction ratio is too high.

Hi Gildor. Thanks for having a look.
Indeed, that seems like a thing.

Do you think weighted vertex normals would cause this too?
Some of these props don't really have a baked normal map, so they could be using that. Just a crazy guess! Tongue

Now I noticed that you shared screens from 3ds Max. Did you try looking at these meshes in UModel? I wonder if normals are wrong there too.

I'm not very used with UModel viewer, but my guess is they are wrong there too.
The helicopter has an odd shading happening there.

So it really looks like processed by Simplygon (or some different toolkit not known to me) ...
