3DSMax: Smoothing Error
polycounter lvl 7
Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Max (coming from Maya), though I've used it for a few projects so far. Currently, I'm having a problem with smoothing/smoothing groups: I have an object with a rounded surface and the smoothing group for it is completely broken. I've tried assigning the faces new groups, multiple groups, multiple groups and then removing them per face, and auto smoothing, to no avail. My workaround is to fix them manually by softening the edges in Maya, which is an obvious pain in the ass. Anyone have a solution for this? I'd love to be fully independent of Maya and do all of this in Max. Thanks!
*edit* Also, the only way it seems to get fixed in Maya is to use "set to face", which I'm mostly unsure of how it works.
