Help! My custom model looks all blocky.

[Wati Feir]

When I compile my demoman replacement, everything works. Hooray.
But it looks really low poly/blocky.
First time using Facepunch, so I'm not really sure how it works.

Faceposing works fine

Afro works fine

What.

Anyway, I really need help. I can't continue working on these, if I have to release them like this :(..

Oh, and here's the model in 3dsmax 2010

If your smoothing groups work fine in 3ds Max but not in-game, then it's either a problem with your smd exporter or the compiling. My first bet is on the smd exporter. Just to verify that this is, in fact, a problem with either of those, try getting a very simple static model in-game, or at least in the model viewer, which has smoothing groups.

If the smoothing groups still don't work after that, fiddle with the smd export options for your demo replacement, and, failing that, try finding a new 3ds Max smd exporter.

It's probably the smd exporter, but I could only find one. I've had this problem before, along with hat bones not working properly.
Think you could point me to a few smd exporters/importers?

Ah, and I use Max 2009, I'm an idiot and I made a mistake in the post.

Admitting you're an idiot only makes you look like an idiot, and also:

wait, I got it to work ^_^..

[cloud_strife]

Just add an autosmooth modifier.

[editline]12:41AM[/editline]

And by that I mean smooth modifier and check autosmooth

[Wati Feir]

Nevermind, I got it working. Thanks anyway though.

What exactly have you changed on the model? It looks exactly the same as the normal demoman.
