Is this shine caused by incorrect smoothing groups? (Unreal 4)

Stu2Prof

Hey guys

I noticed this random shiny patch on my mesh even though there is only one material and the surface is flat. Is this due to incorrect smoothing groups? I tried re-exporting the mesh again with reset smoothing groups but the problem seems to persist. Thanks for any help you can offer

Moving this to the Unreal Engine section.

Hard to know without seeing the Unreal material. Does it still show when you apply a default material? Also look at the vertex normals.

It could be the smoothing groups. Try to remove them completely and build the lights in the scene again. Also try to remove / delete the mesh and import it again, that could help. Other than that, try placing a light between the seams and see if it edge persists.

All fixed now guys. Re-built and reimported with a new material. Ceers for the help!
