Smoothing issue (does it matter)

bcottage

Hey guys, just used the smoothing group by uv shells thing on twex tools and this is what happens..



Should i be worried or will the normal maps fix this?

respawnrt

It messed up your normals.On the ejection port for example something like this happens:
How to fix this: edit normal modifier, unify normals, run script again maybe it works ok after that.

Would a normal map fix this?

I wouldn't rely on the normal map to fix that issue.

You should try what respawnrt suggested, if that doesn't work, post the wires of that area.

Have to attend a family thing today but thought i might add...

It only happens on a angles and it looks 100% fine in a render?

Do what respawnrt suggested. If that doesn't work, reset xforms. If that doesn't work, create a box, collapse the stack, attach the gun, delete the box. If that doesn't work, export to OBJ, reset Max, import OBJ.

Found out the issue. It was to do with me not splitting the barrel in the uv editor...its fixed now
