About the import and export options in Poser when working with sims meshes: I was having the same shadowing problems everyone else seemed to be having. It is is a pain trying to correct the normals changes that seem to be happening with the program when there are shared seams (or edges). I decided to try turning on the commands that reference welding on import and export. When I import back into milkshape, I don't have visible seams, but the shading problems remain in some spots.
Before, I would apply demon's align normals tool, however, with a couple of meshes, that just made things worse overall, as shadows would pop up everywhere. Now that I'm turning on the welding options on import, the shading problems are fewer, and much easier to correct (A pain nonetheless, but easier).:smt120
Anyone see any problems with turning on weld identical verts? I'm going to use the unimesh importer to create the new mesh rather than meshtool.
