Phodex Games Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi, I have this issue since I use Leadwerks and it is really annoying. Maybe you know a solution. So I used this house model to show my problem. This is my model in Blender (Shading mode set to flat) This is how it looks if I export as FBX and import into Leadwerks: To make it appear correctly I always have to recalculate the normals in Leadwerks, to make it appear flat. If I watch my exported fbx in a model viewer however it looks just like in blender. The same appears for the offical Blender Leadwerks exporter. I tried everything to make this work but nothing helps. Maybe you have ideas on this. I tried sharp edges, various export settings, auto smooth groups activated and deactivated... It really destroys my workflow to recalculate normals every time! However, when I am not wrong I remember having models, which have correct normal data applied when imported to Leadwerks, so maybe its a problem with Blender, or am I missing some important settings? Thanks for your input! Markus from Phodex Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 We updated the FBX converter a while back. You might need to be on the beta branch to get the latest one. 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

AggrorJorn Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 He means the steam beta branch. Simply select it from the beta tab in the steam client (no password needed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phodex Games Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 @AggrorJorn Ah thanks ok alright then I will try this out. I though he meant the plugin itself not the built in leadwerks converter, as it I have trouble with the Leadwerks Blender plugin not with an fbx file which has problems with converting.

Phodex Games Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Ok with the new converter Leadwerks keeps the normal settings. Awesome! Thanks @Josh and @AggrorJorn ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
