Previously, to get a model with the correct custom normals, not the mess with ugly shading and lots of unwanted seams, I had to:ġ. To make it clear how much easier it is to compile the model now. OMG! It's working! Cagelight, you have provided an invaluable help to all the JA modelers working in the Blender!
