UDK Staticmesh lighting Help

Hi, my staticmesh is creating ugly unrealistic shadows when I add separate objects to it.

The one on the right is the same one without the separate geometry. I used FBX format for import with Import Tangents and explicit normals on. In Marmoset it looks normal, but UDk gives me this ugly shading.

These are my settings:

I would try to check in the "tangents and binormals" in the fbx export settings

Yes I tried that and results the same. I got the latest FBX version with triangulate and preserve edge orientation checked and still

This is my barrel:

Reset Xform?

took a look at your mesh -- try combining the object and trashing history before you export from your modeling package. I had to check "combine meshes" in the UDK import window (otherwise it came in as a ton of separate objects). Verify that your UVs are in tact after the import -- my thought is that the combine meshes function might be trashing your UVs. If this is the case, UDK will use the mesh's vertices to light the object instead.

Tried reset xform and combined my mesh before exporting and Uvs look good. Argg this makes me want to give up and learn Cryengine.

You need to combine everything in one mesh, and then create lightmap UV for it, UDK lightmap is bleeding.
