Split edges at smoothing groups.

Stromberg90

Hey.

The game engine I am exporting to does not support smoothing groups, so I have to split the model at the smoothing groups I have created.

I have been searching the web and polycount for a way to do this and I have tried quite a few things with no success.

The uv borders and smoothing groups share the same edges, so my first thought was to get a script that selects the uv borders and while that worked, max did not keep the edge selection when collapsing the stack.

Couldn't you select faces by smoothing group and then detach to element?

The simple is often the best
Thanks a lot worked great

it's a pretty simple matter to write a quick loop in maxscript to cycle through every SG and detach automatically. If you dunno how to do this i can help
