Hi,how can i use the smooth information to get normals,or what the use of the smooth group of a mesh?

Replies: 1

In graphics, smoothing group and normals will actually affect each other.
But in FBX, smoothing group info and normals info are store separately and generally normal info is used other than smoothing group.
If you need normal info, use pFbxMesh->GetLayer(0)->GetNormals().

To understand what is smoothing group, you may refer to 3ds Max’s help or Wikipedia.
