[BUG] Broken Shadows - leaking from inside the object

[Wersho]

[POSSIBILE SHADER BUG]

Details from inside barrel are creating shadows that are folding on itself.
Mod in use is bare minimum and barrel model doesn't have any light sources inside.

Bug can be re-created with:

Mod: Quarantine Barrel Overhaul
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2027506066&searchtext=barrel
Model tnp_barrel_003.mdl

Module: Enigma Island - Complete
https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/enigma-island-complete
Part 1 - Said model is easy to access on starting map

Is this happening on the latest development version?

[Wersho]

Bug occurs on:
v83.8193.23 <- development
v82.8193.20.1 <- version of the screenshot
v82.8193.18 <- dev
v81.8193.16 <- oldstable
build8186 <- oldest available

PS: Builds 8193.9 and 8193.9 just auto crashes on start, for me.

It not a bug, you need to fix the model. Keep it split three barrels and link them together or create a dummy shadow set. Took a few minutes. Oh and a there a lot of un-welded vertices.

At the beginning I tried "Clean Models:EE" [neverwintervault.org] ,but with no luck. Then I looked it up in blender (using "Neverblender 2.8" [neverwintervault.org] plugin), but I was unable to fix the problem, exept deleting those vertices.

Please tell, what tools you used?
Then I will try to recreate your fix.

Thenks for solving my isue.

Simplest way I guess for you would be grab tnp_barrel_002 your single side barrel import it into blender position it like three barrel placable and then duplicate it and place the other 2 barrels how you had you 3 barrel placable and export as tnp_barrel_003. It better if you join nwvault discord where a lot of custom content people hang out and even has a custom content channel. There many questions can be easily answered.

For me it's NWN bug. Don't really know reason why not to merge these barrels into one mesh. Anyway thanks for solution.

Old version of NeverBlender broke shading during export, so I unweld vertices where i wanted sharp edges. New version seems fixed.
