Well, I found some information and it doesn't look like my problem is modeler program related at all. It appears that the problem is that I do not know what the hell I'm doing.

In a nutshell... Static meshes in Unreal, and many other game engines, use vertex lighting. And a person who is modeling needs to know how to work with that situation.

Here's a link to a recommended tutorial on vertex lighting. It probably won't be of use except to those who might end up making meshes for an engine that uses this type of rendering.

Sorry for the excitement. :shock:
