Smoothing groups are messed up!
polycounter lvl 7
Hey everyone,
while working on Tims Kukri Tutorial, I recognzied that my smoothing groups (Hard Edges) are really messed up. I'm new to 3ds Max and have no idea how to fix this. I attached a picture of my hard edges and the ones of Tim's knife. Do you have any ideas, how I can fix this and keep up my smoothing groups? Do you know how you can clean all those smoothing groups and harden the edges manually into one single smoothing group?

I also don't know if that random sharp edge is in the tutorial or not the one before the ridges on top.
Otherwise good luck, the link posted is all about your hardedges.
