Smooth Mesh
The Smooth
Mesh option lets you export source mesh with Smooth mesh attributes.
To export the source mesh, disable the Smooth mesh Preview attribute
in Maya, and then export.
If you activate the Smooth
Mesh option, the mesh is not tessellated, and the source
is exported with Smooth Mesh data. If you disable
the Smooth Mesh option, the mesh
is tessellated and exported without Smooth Mesh data.
NoteIf you export a Smooth
Mesh Preview from Maya with the FBX Exporter Smooth
Mesh option disabled, it will not affect the mesh in
the scene. Instead your result is a tessellated mesh in the file,
but with the original source mesh unaffected/unchanged in the Maya
scene.
