Wrong smoothing groups with Birth Objects
#1
Bug 
There is an issue with smoothing groups when using Birth Objects. See images below.
Only Auto Smooth will work, but that will produce other issues. I use Vray Instances.
Any ideas?

It seems like a normals issue, not a smoothing group issue. The mesh appears to have explicit normals set, which are not supported by tyFlow...thus, overriding the smoothing group of 1 set on all the front trim. Since tyFlow doesn't support the explicit normals, the front trim sides/face are all being smoothed in the same group, thus you see the rounded appearance.

Ah, I see. Thanks. For now I had to look for a workaround.

Any plans to support explicit normals in the future?
