A bit of help with a ridiculously small mesh?

[Jokerine]

Good morning! So I have this little model of a paper plane that's giving me trouble. :pinch: I downloaded the blender file from here and have successfully turned it into a .nif with collision and all. It works fine, but for some reason parts of it appear really dark in-game. Here's a picture.

I've checked for overlapping vertices (I am terrible with Blender so maybe I missed something...) and all but I still can't get it to work right. Would anybody be willing to take a look at the mesh and help me figure out what's with it? It's such a little thing that I can't believe I'm stumped :down:

 

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

It's very much possible that it's because it's nearly overlapping, look here:

 

 

 

 

Blender is showing that the planes are close overlapping to with the dark blue area.

 

Edit: Made a small mistake, if the planes are overlapping, they wouldn't be showing as dark blue, you would see the overlap :p. My bad.

 

Also, I would probably suggest changing the mesh a bit because (I'm assuming) the original isn't too well made.

I really don't know enough to even think about making it from scratch (which would probably be best). I was originally using this one but it seems to be way too high-poly for something this small :pinch:

Have you had a chance to tweak any of the material properties? Total shot in teh dark, but you might mess with them a bit in nifskope since they can control how light is affected (reflected, emitted etc) by the model. And I'll try and mess around with it a bit when I get home too.

I've been messing with the flags and such to make them the same as other meshes but they seem to display the same. I even moved the planes around so they would not overlap at all, but the weirdness is still happening. I may just have to go with the higher-poly mesh instead :pinch:

What about the shader flags in BSShaderPPLightingProperty
Every fallout mesh I've seen has SF_Specular | SF_Remappable_Textures | SF_ZBuffer_Test

but this one has no flags

[Jokerine]

I added those three flags to test but it seems to still display all dark and weird in-game. So annoying! This thing hates me :pinch:

 

EDIT: Well, I just asked a friend to make me a new one so it's all good. :dance:

one thing you could check is vertex colors someone might have set it up like that for shading sometimes the vertex colors are really hard to see in blender.
