    Hello!
    I am working on upgrading our workflow to Blender 4.2.4 and V3D 4.8.0.
    Shade Auto Smooth is now the “Smooth by Angle” modifier. I use Auto Smooth extensively.

    This modifier cannot be baked on objects with shape keys. Which means if you have an object that is auto-smoothed and has shape keys, if you have the “bake modifiers” option checked in the V3D export settings, your shape keys will be ignored.

    In Blender 4.0, I could have my auto-smooth and shape keys no problem. So unless there’s a workaround, this is a regression in functionality.

    Any known solution?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, this is how the things are done in new Blenders. Before we could “split” these two features and apply them independently, but now smoothing is performed by the modifier so you either bake it or not use at all (if you need shape keys present on the same mesh). :unsure:
