Proxy to mesh - set normals to average instead of explicit

[romullus]

I noticed that when converting Corona proxy to mesh, it gets its normals set as explicit. Unfortunately 3ds max is pretty bad with explicit normals. Would it be possible to set normals to averaged on conversion (with retaining smoothing groups, of course)?

Is this still happening after the fix in RC2?

Fixed Proxy Exporter script altering normals of the original object (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=20291)

TBH, i don't know if those two issues are related or if it's indeed the same issue. I'll try to test that, when i have more free time.

Hi Romullus, could you please provide us with some simple steps how to reproduce this issue?
Is it like this?
1. Create some object, convert to poly, apply different smoothing groups to it
2. Convert to CProxy
3. Convert back to poly
4. Check smoothing groups
?

..could you please disregard this request and move it to resolved board? I think my request was invalid and there's nothing inherently wrong in how Corona proxy handles normals. Sorry for disturbance.

No probs!
