Fix weird normals with imports from Blender to Unreal..

Gibson/Martelli, ,
TLDR unchecking all of these in the Unreal Static Mesh settings-so that the mesh uses the imported normals from Blender if you have set the mesh to Shade Auto Smooth

I was getting this thing where Unreal importing fbx files was giving me weird artefacts on meshes. I first thought that I was not setting the normals correctly in Blender so I was using Shade Auto Smooth and setting the Geometry Smoothing to FACE in FBX export settings

And i was making sure my meshes had some UVS.

BUT it seems unchecking all of these in the Unreal Static Mesh settings seems to fix it best – So that the mesh uses the imported normals
