SMOOTH SHADING ARTIFACTING AFTER JOINING 2 MESHES

Question

I made a separate object to model feet apart from the base mesh before joining it, making it one mesh. I then filled in all the faces between the two and as I did this I found that the smooth shading of the base mesh was interacting strangely with the joined mesh.

How do I fix this shading issue or is it a case of blender interacting with the model weirdly and its fine to export as is.

Check for duplicate vertex there, there could be vertex fighting for dominance. — Craig D Jones, Apr 04 '22 at 02:22
Theres no vert double ups and all caps scares people into answering my question. So maybe I do deserve it — Cameron Button, Apr 04 '22 at 04:23
Select all in Edit mode and press Shift N in order to recalculate the normals? — moonboots, Apr 04 '22 at 05:41

Hello and welcome. Please don't write in all caps, it is the online equivalent of shouting, is harder to read and may be considered rude. You can use the [edit] button below to change you text into regular case. — Duarte Farrajota Ramos, Apr 04 '22 at 08:57

The normals are inverted (you can check if you enable the Face Orientation option in the Viewport Overlays, inverted faces will be displayed red instead of blue). Select all in Edit mode and press ShiftN in order to recalculate the normals.
