Hi all!

I’m using the awd exporter for max. I have two problems.

1. When I export with uv’s I get a hard seam on the model. I have attaches a images. A simple cylinder exported with and without the “Include texture co-ordinates” option checked.

2. The smoothing gets really strange. Its like away3d tries to “smooth” the model. This problem disappears if I increase the tessellation.

If I export to .obj non of this problems appears.

The reason I’m using awd is because I need simple animation, like a handle on a bucket raise and material. Is there another file-format that supports this in away3d.

Have a great day everybody!

you have a solution by using
turboSmooth and select explicit Normal

The man has spoken! Great, thank you so much!

Interesting. Do you happen to know what’s the cause of this and what’s the difference between normal normals and explicit normals ?

EDIT: Well this doesn’t exactly answer my own questions but it’s worth reading if you’re using explicit normals

i think is a awd exporter error in the definition of normal
i have to see with richard about that
