Problem with a meshes rendering brighter in UDK.

synergy11

I have two meshes that are sharing the exact same material.

For some reason the one on the left corner is rendering brighter then all the other ones.


The corner piece on the right is rendering the same value as the middle pieces which is what I want.

Any help on this would be great!

Thanks so much.

Check that your lightmaps don't have any overlapping faces and that they are high enough resolution. Also, give each piece it's own lightmap UVs if you haven't already, even if they share the same UVs for textures.

What do you mean give each piece it's own lightmap UVS?

If I duplicate a mesh to reuse in the level. It will have the same uvs as the original copy.

So does your mesh have lightmap UV's at all? Looks like it's being vertex lit.

Ya it's got a second UV channel for Lightmaps.

Maybe it's the preview render ?

I've had this problem pop up also and the only thing that seems to fix it is to delete the dominant light and re-add it.
