[Blender] How to fix when the surface of an object is displayed incorrectly [What is the strange shadow?]

There’s something strange about the appearance of the face…

[Object mode] When looking at an object
1. When viewed from various angles, the appearance and appearance of shadows are strange compared to the surroundings.
2. The edges of the triangular surface are visible and only that surface stands out.

If something goes wrong…the following things will happen.

When importing a 3D model (FBX) into a Scene in Unity, the color of the object becomes darker.
When displaying a 3D model (FBX) in FBX Review, objects and materials turn black…
When opening a 3D model (FBX) in a 3D viewer, a buggy display appears.

This time, I will show you how to fix when the surface of an object is displayed incorrectly in Blender 2.8 and 2.9.

Problem 1: Surface display is strange in object mode.

Triangle. You can see the sides. Triangle. You can see the sides.

[Object mode] You can see the sides of a triangular surface that is closely observed from various angles without selecting an object.

Should I call it the dirty side?

Cause: “The surface is not properly lined up”

[Object mode] When you select an object, the shape of the surface becomes clear.

The surface is not clean.

When you look at the image, the boundaries between objects are shown in orange.
The edges are displayed halfway.
That means the surface is not properly made.

Possible causes (in my case)

・Have a smartphone
Have a phone number that can receive SMS
・Complex password
・Remember your Paypal account registration information
・Set up two-step verification
・Use an authentication app
・Receive SMS (receive one-time code)
・Add a backup email address
・Add a backup phone number (one that can receive SMS)
・Do not delete the phone number and email address registered with PayPal without permission.
・If you use PayPal, keep it this way.

For some reason, the shadows appear darker. The sides of the triangular surface stand out.

Correction method “Fill the surface”

  1. Delete the face in [Edit mode] [Select face].
Edit Mode, Select a face to delete it.
Edit Mode, Face Selection deleted the face.
  1. Select the four sides in [Edit mode] [Select edges].
In edit mode, select four edges in edge selection.
  1. In this state, select [Edge context menu] [Fill].
Select the edge context menu, Fill.

The edges are filled and a surface is created. Do this on all surfaces.

  1. [Object mode] Select an object.

If the orange frame is not cut in the middle, you will have created a clean surface.

We were able to create a clean surface.

Problem 2: “The surface of the object is a smooth shade”

The left half has a smooth surface (smooth shade) and the right half is flat (flat shade).

The left half has a smooth surface (smooth shade) and is glossy.

The right half is flat (flat shade) and lacks luster.

Correction method: “Make it a flat shade”

  1. Select the surface.
  2. Select [Surface Context Menu] → [Flat Shade].
Choose a flat shade.

3, Now flat = flat.

Now flat = flat.

Problem 3: “When displaying a 3D model in a 3D viewer, the surfaces overlap.”

If you view the 3D model in the 3D viewer, the surfaces are overlapped.

When displaying a 3D model with a 3D viewer, the surfaces overlap. (bug)

In Blender’s view, you may not notice it.

Correction method: “Re-upholster the surface”

Re-upholster the surface.

  1. Delete the surfaces that appear to be overlapping (bugs) that you checked in the 3D viewer.
  2. Select the surrounding edges and select [Edge Context Menu] → [Fill Faces].
Select the surrounding edges and select the edge context menu → Fill Face.

This is OK.

Problem 4: “I imported FBX into Unity, but the 3D model is black”
