I'm trying to investigate/fix an issue I'm experiencing with clothing mesh imports. On import, the program seems to lose or alter something about the lighting, causing odd shadows on various parts of the mesh. I've tested with different versions of blender, from 2.77 to 3.6, but none of them seem to make a difference. The issue also seems to happen whether I've edited the mesh, or just exported it with S4S and immediately re-imported it without editing the mesh in any way.
Curiously, the strange shadows go away if I import my mesh into CMar's CASTools. Sadly that produces a bad noticeable seam at the neck (and none of CASTool's seam fixing options seem to actually fix the seam), and I'd prefer to do my work with S4S overall. But it leads me to question whether something is being handled differently within the programs when it comes to exporting/importing.
In the pictures I'm attaching, I've highlighted areas where the shadows are most noticeable - by the chest and on the sleeve where it meets the arm - but there are other more subtle areas that are being affected as well.
Does anyone know anything about this issue, and whether there's a workaround? Different blender settings, or some kind of action I could take? I'd love to be able to fix this!
