Modelling/texturing issues

[Red Spot]

scrap the last post, in that it isnt cause of rescaling ..

somehow the importer/exporter always seems to aply smoothing-groups and I cant seem to get rid of them nor aply them ..

does anyone know how I could get smoothing groups to stick while exporting/importing??


edit;
after a few tests the inconclusive search results become clear ...
the game (or exporter) gives models some sort of base smoothing but doesnt actually care about how smoothed (or not) you tried to export ..
(I made several units from the same model, 1 without any smoothing, 1 with some smoothing, etc etc ... all models looked exactly the same as each other, smoothing or not, the models re-imported also always have the same smoothing groups aplied to each face, wether exported with or without smoothing..)
so now I now how to aply smoothing-groups and such .... :o

edit2;
smoothing is in the game ... in an ugly way .. the games uses smoothing as a way to augment reflection, when I face my sword generals new sword with the sun in my back it looks like a toy-sword like if its made from rubber with child-proof edges, when facing the other side I see a pretty heavy sword, something you'd almost want to carry 2-handed..
start a custom-game and turn units around on a sunny map, you'll see that units get smoothed on the side thats reflecting sun, with mixed results ....
