Khai,

It is NOT a Global Effect override. The render setting determines if smoothing is even considered by the renderer. Enabling it in render options does NOT force smoothing on everywhere, but disabling it DOES stop it everywhere. If a prop says don't smooth, the global setting does not turn it on. It is not an override.

I'm surprised that you suggested that the others try it and see - when you didn't do so yourself.

Look there are four cases:

Global On, Prop On: SMOOTHED
Global On Prop Off: NOT SMOOTHED
Global Off , Prop On: NOT SMOOTHED
Global Off, Prop Off: NOT SMOOTHED

You're all in agreement about that, right? English is not a good substitute for Predicate Logic.

Smoothing Happens = (Global Smoothing Enabled) AND (Prop Smoothing Enabled)

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
