Smooth shading in video not the same on my Mac? - mhulse - 10-07-2015

Hi,

I'm learning from this video:

Making a quick car in Wings 3D

Right at:

It shows this:

His smooth shading looks much more smooth than my computer's shading. Here's what I see on my computer:

I was wondering, why would my smooth shading be more hard looking?

Thanks!

Ahhh, SHIFT + TAB toggles Quick Smoothed Preview.

Now, just curious, but what is this mode used for? Do other programs know about hard/soft edges and whether or not you were in smoothed preview mode?

For example, if I export out as OBJ, would Unity know about those things?

Sorry if noob questions. Smile
