Problem: My object mesh is displayed incorrectly in game

That is a texture thing , texture looks differently at blender and at S4S and in game . You have to work it a bit out with the texture in order to find how it looks better in game .

Actually did you import your texture through the S4S as a dds file or you used blender for that ?

Also do not forget that the game use shades and shadows witch none of the above programs use ( well blender kinda does but the lamps do not represent the game as it is , cause inside the game you got also the light that you have placed in the scene not only the world lighting etc. ) . There for it is kinda normal your item to look at some places darker and lighter and because of that the perspective of the object changes .

I don't think this is due to a texture / specular problem.

I know the shading is not at all the same as in Blender.
I also created the other piece of furniture in the photo and yet I don't have this problem with it.

Thank you very much, it works fine

So, I always have to leave the angle of the Edge Split modifier at 40?
And, the auto smooth is useful in other case where I should rather always leave it disabled?

The package has five object definitions in the warehouse so you should clone a new table and re-import your meshes and textures into it.

And did you make this in a version of Blender that's higher than 2.79? I couldn't open it. Had to append the mesh. I don't know if using Blender 2.79+ would affect anything or not, though.

There are problems but overall mesh looks pretty clean to me. I didn't notice any faces squashed between others (believe it or not, that can create weird shading), or any mesh flickering (Z-fighting). It does help to split edges as Mauvemorn stated and you could easily reduce the polycount, too. Bear in mind that splitting edges will increase your polycount, which is why you should reduce the polycount in other parts of your mesh. In the curved portion of the table and the handle, you can dissolve some edges and the shape of your mesh won't change at all. (edge-select, shift + Alt select edges, X > dissolve edges). Look at the UV map. See how dense some UV islands are? Those are the areas you can reduce. I've outlined in red some but there are other areas. And I found one bead that had a face inside; there may be more. Anything that won't be seen should be deleted. Hide faces in your way with H. That way, you can see anything that's inside. Alt + H to unhide.

On the bottom, there are four faces that could be easily turned into one quad. Edge-select mode, select edges, X > dissolve edges, or face-select mode, shift-select all four faces, press F.

Studio will turn your quads to tris which will double your polycount so keep that in mind. There are also some faces that are not quads or tris; they are called N-gons. Studio won't accept those areas as is and will turn them to tris, as I just stated. You may not like the result so it's best to split them up. Shift-select two vertices and press J. A new edge will be created between the two vertices. Or use the knife tool (K).

There is a UV island that is shaped like an upside-down U. That one should be deleted and remade into three faces. In the UV editor, enable Keep UV and Edit Mode Mesh Selection in Sync. Now you can see your UV islands without selecting your mesh. Select that UV island, put your mouse cursor in the 3D window, X > Faces. Hide everything in your way; you can select what you need to hide in the UV editor or the 3D window. Vertex-select mode, shift select four vertices, F to make a new face. Make three new faces. It will mess up your UV layout so select the three faces, Ctrl + Numpad 7 (bottom view), U > Project from View. Scale and move the new UV island.

Congratz on your project :D .

How do you use blender 2.9 and you are able to import at S4S ?

no I cannot import with version 2.9.

I save my meshes once finished in .obj format that I open afterwards with version 2.7 to be able to finish the settings and import it into s4 studio.

Fwecka (Lolabellesims) yes I would share it when finishing the set of objects that will go with it
