Is there a way for Poser to deal with 90 degree corners with out me modeling every single square corner as two individual surfaces?
Example:
1 create a cube in 3D Studio Max that is any size or scale
2 export it as an .obj file at what ever scale
3 import it into Poser and turn smoothing down to zero on the cube itself
4 there are issues with the corners because evidently Poser was not taking into account rigid models when it was designed I.E. smoothing default of 80* for human figures
5 Go back into Max and detach each of the 6 sides of the cube
6 select all six different models that are individual planes to comprise a cube
7 export them as an .obj file
8 import into Poser and set smoothing for that file to zero
9 render and viola no smoothing issues.
10 imagine having to do that with Fishers Warehousing.
So is there a work around with out all the extra work to make Poser see things differently?
By the way I just tried the example and there are not issues,
I modified the cube and did an inset on all six sides and then extruded inside a few units and then there is an issue on the main corners.
