does each group have to have a smoothing group or can we just leave some groups flatshaded for it to work in half-life.

    Flatshaded works in HL, it just looks, well, flat <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    models are smoothed in halflife, flatshaded is just a rendering option to pick out bugs and help view the model better sometimes

    If that's true, then it couldnt possibly be true...flat shaded is so useless. wireframe shade = the only solution for picking out errors.

    Models in HL are only smoothed if you want them to, so you can't say
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->models are smoothed in halflife<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Leaving models unwelded (=flatshaded) will look better on some models with a certain look, and unwelded parts can give a better look to certain model parts. It all depends on the model you are working on, there is no
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Thou shalt smooth your models!<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    or
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Thou shalt not smooth your models!<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Rule
