Hi EagleKing,

I unfortunately don't know what is causing it... I'm fighting with a similar problem when I mirror a face I'm working on... somehow some extra faces is added... and somehow they drag in the original half of the face causing its getting a bit weird an extra dark in some places...

unfortunately I don't know the solution to the problem... but if nobody answers... I will return when I have figured it out...

hopefully someone knows the answer... user added image

regards

Check to make sure your normals are all facing the same way..

Did you play with the default lambert shader?
