Max Smoothing groups vrs Maya Hard Edges
So I have been out of the 3ds Max game for a while due to using Maya at work and now that I am getting back into Max with some personal projects I have run into a snag.

Blending Normal Map

Re: Are 3ds Max's Modeling Tools Good Enough for Us?

Re: 3ds max 2021 Physical materials supported in Unity? (fbx export)
