Character Modelling - problem with Smoothing

Anbu · Oct 2011

Hello PolyCount Community,

I got here a Model and got a problem, my Smoothing Group 1 is on but there isn´t a Smoothed surface.
How can I fix that ? ( You can see it on the legs in the middle and on the arms, that are triangles not a quad)

Pictures:

How can I solve this ?

Are the vertices welded?

Anbu · Oct 2011

No they aren´t welded.
I can upload the .max file if it´s easier.

Weld them yourself? It's not that hard.

If you took the time to find the converter for the game, and export out the models and into 3DS Max, I'm sure you can spend five minutes figuring out how Weld works.

Can you tell me what the function "weld" do ?
I did only Polymodelling and Boxmodelling, I don´t got knweledge what "weld" is.

Anbu · Oct 2011

Yes it´s the function "weld" but I must figure out how it works
