I strongly doubt this is possible. Is there a way to smooth the normals between two separate objects?  Maybe some kind of option in the firefly renderer?  If not I guess I can just modify the geometry of both objects and align their normals in 3d studio max.  But I was hoping for a quick fix of some kind. 

The easiest way I can think of is to just fix the shading problems that occur from clashing geometry (from seperate objects) in photoshop once the render is done, but the tedious way is to align the geometry in a modeler.

Any advice?
