     My first guess is whether the multigen file provides vertex normals.

Hi
      
I am having a trouble with getting smooth shaded models.
      
I imported a Multigen flight model in 'trackball.c'. It looks badly
shaded. So I inserted the following lines in the code
      
      
     pfShadeModel( PFSM_GOURAUD);
      
     pfOverride(PFSTATE_SHADEMODEL, PF_ON);
      
      
      
Further the model doesn't look different even if change to flat shading.
      
The model looks good in Multigen so I guess there is little chance that
it has very few polygons.
      
      
Where could I be going wrong?
      
Any help will be appreciated.
      
Thanks
