[Resovled]Problem with the way color blend?

The model is only a piece i cut from a original war3 model
But somehow it looks wrong color after i imported it in the map
I figured out the model works wrong with the war3 lightning!

Here is the pic:

Does anyone know how to resolve my problem?
Please tell me in details because i have same problem with some other models...
The original and need-fix models are attached below.

Edit: Thanks Anvil again.
The wrong thing is the normals after i made a little change with mdlvis and it fixed now.

This problem is caused by the normals of the model... you need to recalculate them. You can do it in 3ds max for example.

Or in mdvlis v1.40, but sometimes it doesn't work.

I used lastest mdvlis to edit model ...
So how to calculate ??? And how to edit .mdx with 3ds max?

I only delete a part of the original model then save?
Where is the wrong thing?

 

[Anvil]

To edit .mdx model in 3ds max you need a plugin.

I don't use much mdlvis, but I think to edit normals in mdlvis you need make visible all the geosets, select all the vertices and then, go to de button "Average normals of selected vertices", (The icon has some color bars).

Well. Although i think you're right about my problem, i still fail when try to fix it.
Anyone help me to fix then tell me how to do in detail, please!

Here is the model, I have recalculated the normals in 3DS Max

From back to front, your Edited Archway, Your Archway + New Normals, The original Archway.

Thank the goddess, i found you.
In the end:
Which ver of 3ds max U use?
and
Where i can find the pluggin?

 

[Anvil]

I have 3ds Max 2010, and the plugin... I use the .m3 plugin, this one has an .mdx importer/exporter.

Err, Unify Normals is what you use to recalculate? If not then what ?
Sorry for asking too much, but i'm newbie >.<

Btw, what tool do you use to do UV mapping?
I lost the texture map when import to 3ds max....

If you use the .mdx importer, you don't lose the UV mapping, you only lose the material, forget the texture, you can add it later.

I do this: Add the modifer "Edit Normals", in the panel options turn on "Show Handles", select all the handle normals, and then Unify. (Check if "Selected By" is set to "Normal").

Another way is, convert the model mesh in "Editable Poly". Select the model and then, go to "Graphite Modeling Tools" To the right, in properties click in "Smooth", You should get the same effect. Export the model, and in magos, add the textures.

You can use the NeoDex exporter, is here on the hive.
