while most of these are done with an ENB and photoshopped, i hope it is visible, that the problem still does exist without these.

Not sure though if it's a UV error with the tooth or a texture issue. It's present regardless of whether or not the hi-res DLC is loaded.

after some digging through the files, i think i found the issue.
the tooth has no normal data, that spot on the normal map is completely blanc.
and indeed, the issue is more pronounced in sunlight and less so in foggy or cloudy weather.
changing the tooth's color saturation also had no positive effect.

the issue should be moved to textures, and who ever has experience with normal maps should have a look at this.

Almost 2 years later, bouncing this to textures

And 3 years later, here we are. This clearly isn't going anywhere.
