Flat Shaded Meshes
Author
Hey, i got a problem with shading. Even though i set the render state of my 3D device to the gouraud shade mode all my loaded x-file meshes have a kind of flat shading but i want them smooth. Check out the link below for a picture of what i mean:

The custom ground object (created from scratch not loaded) shades fine but the loaded x-file sphere doesn't, any ideas on how to solve this problem?
By the way i'm using the DirectX 8.1 SDK.
Look into the model's normals. I think you'll find that they are all perpendicular to the triangles' faces. What you need are normals that are averaged by the faces around them....
Err.. I hope that made sense.
