Still a newb in Blender. I have a number of (hopefully) simple questions that I've yet to figure out. Hopefully you can help.
When in Object mode, under the tools tab I can set shading to either Smooth or Flat. Does setting Smooth shading change the mesh in any way or just how it appears in the viewport. If it only shows in the viewport would it give a false illusion of how the item will appear when exported out to another 3D program.
I changed the default in User Prefs to Relative links for external files and such. I thought it would be a good idea since I may work on the same document on various computers. Since then I've noticed an Add on, Scene Skies, that gives me an error. It appears to have to do with relative links it cannot find. Tried reinstalling, no luck. Are relative links a good idea? Or maybe the error is unrelated. Any thoughts?
