Flatshading help :C

[MackTheHunter]

Well, so far, I've followed every instruction on flatshading from everyone I know, and this happens all the time.

Usually, %50 of my model is not flatshaded!



And I do believe, good sir, I am getting rather BOTHERED!

So if you wouldn't mind, I would like it if someone please flatshaded this silly model for me.

Sure, and Btw, smexy model

[MackTheHunter]

Based off the HP Photosmart 735 model

This is the tutorial I used.  I haven't tested the model, but this tutorial always works for me.  Here's the .dts!

[MackTheHunter]

Thanks, I'll test it out.

Now it's 80% smooth-shaded.

This is really weird.

These are the steps I use for flatshading:

1. Select parts of the model
2. Have "auto-smooth" switched on in the smoothing group panel
3. Assign the selected parts to a smoothing group
4. Vertex -> unweld the selected parts
5. Switch off "auto-smooth" under the smoothing group panel
6. Vertex -> weld together
7. Export using DTS Plus (regular DTS exporter doesn't export flatshading properly)

They seem to work for me all the time, I've never had problems with them.

I'll try using my method on your model to see if it works, if it does I'll post the model flatshaded.

Well it works, but I had to set all your groups to LOD level 100 because some of them had a LOD level of 0 which no doubt was screwing things up. Next time, don't give any groups a LOD level of 0, and use the DTS Plus exporter because the default DTS exporter provided by Milkshape doesn't export flatshading properly, at least from my experience it doesn't.

Thank you very much, I'll test it now.

The handle, flash and logo are still all smooth-shaded.

I hate MS3D for this. Could this maybe be something to do with server.cs? Or the textures?

[Gadgethm]

Possibly.  Most likely its the textures.  Could I join a server with the addon enabled?  It may just be your computer.
