General normal baking smoothing groups.

samgriffiths · 11-06-2009, 02:10 PM

Should I use any smoothing groups on my LP or HP when baking in max? If so, under what circumstances.

Thank-you.

Generally you want your low poly to have just 1 smooth group.

High poly is at your own discretion (I'd say not, but you have to make sure any hard edges you want are modeled in with a little bevel).

Is there any specific reason why apart from to make texturing easier?
