    Smoothing groups define whether surfaces are rendered smoothly or with sharp edges. Smoothing groups assign numbers to faces or patches of an object - if two faces share an edge and the same smoothing group number, they will render smoothly, but faces with different numbers will render the edge as a corner. Smoothing groups can be manually changed or animated using tools like Editable Poly and the Edit Mesh modifier to control smooth versus sharp rendering of edges.

    Smoothing Groups

    Smoothing groups define whether a surface is rendered with sharp edges or smooth surfaces.

    Left: The bottle has no smoothing.


    Middle: Smoothing is assigned only to the highlighted group of faces.
    Right: The bottle is smoothed using three different smoothing groups: on the body, the neck, and the
    top edge.

    Smoothing groups are numbers assigned to the faces or patches of an object. Each face or patch
    can carry any number of smoothing groups up to the maximum of 32. If two faces or patches share
    an edge and share the same smoothing group, they will render as a smooth surface. If they don't
    share the same smoothing group, the edge between them will render as a corner.
    You can manually change or animate the threshold values for smoothing group assignments using
    such tools as Editable Poly (Polygon/Element) and the Edit Mesh modifier.
