| When importing the model gest cut along hard edges and along the edges where texture mapping is not connecting (places that were cut when unwrapping). In other words you get [[http://tactical.nekromantix.com/images/wiki/Import_3DS_edgesbl4.jpg|this]]. Note I was unwrapping outside of O2, this happened upon importing a mesh with UV coordinates and smoothness set in a correct way. | When importing the model gest cut along hard edges and along the edges where texture mapping is not connecting (places that were cut when unwrapping).

| Number of [[section_fixing|sections]] (or draw calls?) is the most important factor. Each group of faces using different material or texture file is an additional section. Use only one rvmat per model if you can.
