[Answered]Smoother edges?

[M4ck]

Hi there. I've tried some basic Blender modelling for KSP a few times, but one thing always annoyed me: is there any option, in Blender or Unity, to kinda auto dissolve edges between faces? What I mean is that most of the time it all appears like this:

Is there some "interpolate lighting" or something option to use here, or do I have to simply use much smaller surfaces and less sharp angles?

And by the way - what is the suggested triangle budget for a single, large thing, like a 20m core part of which only one will be used at a time?

When you're importing into Unity, in the import setting there will be drop down boxes for "Normals" and "Tangents". Set "Normals" to "Calculate". Adjust the angle value to your liking.

10 to 20k is good for something you see close up all the time. less if only seen at a distance or a small piece.

Thank you, guys You are awesome

I think I will get rid of things like these upper right corner seams with some model or settings tweaking myself. It is all just a test model and texture to check if what I wanted to do can be done. It seems it can

If we cannot bring the KSC to the Mun(well, we can, with EPL, but still...), we will have to bring the Mun to the KSC!
