3ds max smooth+highlight issue

Rockley Bonner · Dec 2011

When I turn on smooth+highlight render I get this weird smoothing effect that I
wouldent notice if I dident have it on. I have no Idea what the problem is. Could
it be an issue with the symytry modifier? I fear this may bite me in the butt later
if I dont fix it now. Thanks!

check the smoothing groups in EditblePoly

Throw a smooth modifier on it. In the dialogue check the auto smooth box. Collapse the modifier. That should clear it up. If not then manually set your smoothing groups.

Just select all polys and set SG to 1 from smooth groups section in edit poly and ur done.

or you can apply smooth modifier than collapse the stack (make sure u remove symetry first in case u dont want to finalise it).
