Exporter ignores normals and always exports fully smoothed model #18

Closed ssnd292 closed 4 years ago

ssnd292 commented 4 years ago

When exporting custom meshes, the exporter ignores the smoothing set in Blender (be it custom weighted vertex normals via modifier, auto smoothing in data properties, manual smoothing via hard and soft edges or even hard edges set by HardOps addon)

Desired effect is that the exporter keeps the normal information and treats it as is, see attached picture.

The blend file you have sent does not match the data exported in the fbx exporter. At least not on specular settings. When I change the specular settings to match each other in GE, then it seems that my exporter exports everything as soft shaded.
