Does $$anonymous$$aya have the notion of modifiers? In Blender these modifiers have to be applied prior to export. On the Unity side there are Import Options. You can chose to calculate Normals and adjust the Smoothing Angle value until you achieve the result you are looking for.

Hi, I got a warning when I export it from $$anonymous$$aya "The plug-in has changed some animation curves tangents type to User to ensure interoperability. This mode change will not affect the animation curves' values"

Did this cause problem?

BTW I selected Calculate and set the smoothing angle to 180 but there are not any change..

Thank you!

Your smoothing groups (don't know maya's name for it) look like they're set up alright, so if it were 3DS Max, all you'd need to do would be to enable smoothing groups in the FBX exporter's export options, should be the same for maya. In the FBX exporter's options, under geometry, enable "export smoothing groups" (should be the first check box) and it should solve the problem.

Select the model in Unity's project window and then in the inspector window set Normals and Tangents to "Calculate" and Adjust Smoothing Angle for what you'd want. Make sure to hit Apply when you are done.

Where are those located in the Inspector window? Under my $$anonymous$$esh Filter, all I have is the ability to Select "$$anonymous$$esh"
