This is the first time I've ever created a mesh. I used the Wings 3D Meshing Tutorial here on TSR. I finished the mesh, did the UV Mapping, but when I exported both the High and Medium level of detail into TSRW, both meshes looked messed up. I included a picture in so you can see. Thanks.

You most likly have reverted faces in your mesh.
Try to find the option ''hide backfaces'' in Wings and you will see the same results.
In order to fix it you need to select those problem faces and revert the vertex order.
I dont use Wings but i am sure others will explain with more info on how to.

That's what would think as well, but according to Anoeska in another thread with a similar problem,

The other problem is most likely caused by your mesh not being triangulated. You can do this manually in Wings. Make sure you are in Face selection mode and select faces to be triangulated > Tesselate > Triangulate.

Or even more easy: in the export obj options choose the option Tesselation > Triangulation. This will make sure that all your exported meshes will be triangulated, while keeping your mesh in Wings untriangulated. This is the best option, since this will make it easier to edit your mesh again untriangulated when you're not fully satisfied with it ingame.

You guys are my heroes!! I was having the same problem! And changing the setting on the export made all the difference. Who would have thought something so simple would fix such a large problem.
