When I lost my map due to a corruption I got it back through the W3D Importer. Now I have it back, I noticed that the edge line on objects appears when it didn't before. I can't post a pic as n00bstories picture service is still down but when lighting is applied to the map, I get this effect when one side of the edge is darker/lighter than the one on the other side. This would mean when your in-game you'll see one side of the edge lighter than the other which looks crap.[/img]

try the smooth modifier, and make sure you check that auto smooth or whatever option in the options for the modifier.

This is in GMax, It's hard to explain without the pictures showing my problem.

again, i think you should try the smooth modifier - in gmax/renx

hopefully it'll smooth out the surface normals and the lighting will be much smoother and better looking. I have some places in haunted house v2 that really benefit from it.

For me the vertex solve often still needs the mesh to have the smooth modifier for smoother lighting.
