Model Lighting

[Xaerth]

While looking at my models in Magos' viewer, they look fine - however, once I drag them into WE, the shading from the light looks bad. After a thorough search, I found a thread about steep angles causing this; if so, is there any OTHER way to remove this effect? Adding and redoing every angle on my models would make me sad.

Example:

As you can see, almost all of the windows have a weird polarization effect. They're either dark or extremely bright. However, the tower-looking-thing isn't that bad, which I sure hope isn't because it is at an angle. Nonetheless, is there a way to get softer shading without a major overhaul of my model (IE, ambient light colour change?)

Which tool are you using to model? Are you using Omni Lights?

Answer those 2, and I'll see what we can do. The problem is related to the Normals, the normals define the shading of the model, you may need to do some tweaks to them.

3DSMAX9, saving as a 3DS, opening in Milkshape3d, using the MDLX converter there, and toying with it in Magos' and Oinerwinkles' (sp) vertex editor to UV wrap it. As far as Omni Lights go, I haven't used any. After toying around with the lights, I think I made it a bit more obvious as to which normals were bad.

I don't really care about having to tweak it much, so long as I don't have to redo the UV maps (or if there's a quick method of doing it I'm not aware about). So, ideally, anything I could do to fix it while using Magos' or Oi... would be great. Of course, things don't always work out that way. Thanks.

EDIT: After finally finding the function again, I tried recalculating normals on Oidiosajfoidasjf's vertex modifier and I think it made it worse.
