Mesh changing on export Jan 9, 2020 12:15:01 GMT -5

Hello,

I'm having a problem when it comes to exporting mesh. When I export it the edges are becoming prominent, even if I just export it and immediately import the exact same file without opening it.

The problem is, those edges become far worse after editing in blender, and thats not even the mesh I'm touching and I can't think of a reason why they would, especially just from exporting.

I'd really appreciate any insight.

Hi. When you import the blend file in The Sims 4 studio, it splits the mesh along UV island borders to prevent shading issues ( dark shadow along sharp edges ).

S4S splits the mesh in a way that in not noticeable ( like on your first pic ), but if you split it yourself, it will be ( like on the second pic ).
Ok, so you import a mesh ( no split edges) in s4s, it splits it along UV island borders. You export the mesh that is already split. You import the same mesh that is split and s4s amplifies it. It shades split edges as sharp now.

So what you need to do is remove doubles in places where you do not need sharp edges before importing it in s4s.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF CREATOR HELP:

• describe your problem and provide a picture of it (if possible);

• provide download link(s) to .package and .blend files.

If you have a Gmail acc, you can host all of the above on Google Drive
