Re: arsh's maya questions

I know Maya has a smooth mesh option, but it seems to lack the Max's ability to set smooth faces groups and materials. I have tried adjusting the options in Maya's smooth mesh,… -
Re: arsh's maya questions
are you talking about this Thread? CLICK! If so Does the Professor concur with Pior's Assesment? Disconnect all the alpha bits and re-attach?
