There is a strange lighting effect present on the following texture / model, here's a few screens to illustrate:

As you can see, there are several 'white spots' appearing in numerous places on the Gallic captain model (Gallic general is fine btw).
I've done a bit of research into a possible solution to this problem, but unfortunately I don't own a copy of the software to make the changes myself. Here are a couple of related links:
Strat map character probelms (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=64298)
Problem with Strat cas file (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=61283)
Obviously there are a couple of solutions from those topics, either to create a new gloss file (suggested by wlesmana), or to remove the smoothing groups (suggested by alin).
Many of the other models and textures appear to work correctly on the campaign map. They are all fine on the battlefield, its just the odd one or two on the strat map for some reason or another.
These are webbird's models and textures, but after having an initial chat with him, we couldn't resolve the problem.
Could anyone who owns a copy of the right software to do this job (my guess is 3DS MAX, but I may be wrong) please lend a hand with this problem? If you know how to solve it, please let me know, and I'll forward the models and textures. I can send the ammended models and textures back to webbird once this area has been resolved.
Thanks.
