Version 1.871 released on 10-18-2012

This version is important because the 1.87 release could create problems with some kinds of models. Now you can choose the normal method. The default (Face Render Normals) seems to work best for models created in Max and using smoothing groups. The Explicit normals is experimental and will be developed more in the future.


* SMD Exporter: SMD Exporter updated to version 1.37.

* SMD Exporter: Updated SMD Exporter to have Normal Exporter options. Default (which was the method used in all versions of WW except WW 1.87) is to use Face Render Normals--which works properly with Max smoothing groups. There is now an experimental method (which was used in WW 1.87) that is optional called Explicit Normals. It is experimental and does not always work.

* WWMT: New normal drop-down in main rollout to choose normal export method.
