Is there a way to set the crease angle on imported objects? Thanks, Nando.

By "set the crease angle" I assume you want hard edges. That is done by manipulating vertex normals. You can do this in code, or set vertex normals for models when you create them (b3d file format only.)

How would this be coded? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Nando.

Hi Nando_K, Try this from the Code Archives: AutoSmooth By the way, you didn't mention what you were importing the crease angle of.. If it's from LightWave, then the LightWave convertor handles smoothing angles correctly.

Many thanks. I'm importing 3ds. -Nando.
