remove Shade from model

[Racziel]

Hello there,
i edited some models from wc3 (i cant even say what my base model was) to create new walls, columns etc.
Now i have the problem, that some of my models have a shadow when there shouldn't be one (like in the attached picture).
Is it possible to remove the shade without redoing the whole model? (because i have this problem with not only one model and it was a lot of work to get to this point now..).

You can always weld the vertices, though that may ruin the unwrap. I don't recommend making the geoset unshaded because then it'd be just as bright at night.

Nah, no need to weld anything, it's simply a case of normals being slightly messed up. Make them perpendicular to the surface and the shade will go away.

Ok thank you i'll try my best.

you can also make them unshaded, create a new material layer with small 8x8 texture tinted appropriately and set to modulate.
then just create stand alternate sequence in which the visibility of the material layer would be on and make a trigger to play this sequence on night (you can play the animation of all the doodads of the selected type through the whole map).
also this way you can easily control the color of objects during night, if wc3 lighting creates an undesired effect.

the major issue though is not night but complete absence of mesh lighting, the mesh will look flat and there won't be any lights applied from omni lights like the torches etc etc.
