Ok... I was playing around with a model of a humming bird I am making.
(I love hummers, they are so cute)

DBpro renders it out different than DBclassic.
Is there something I am missing?
I like DBclassic's render much better.

I know it's dark, but you can see the difference.

Sorry the pictures don't appear to be there? Obviously till I see I can't help, but in DBPro try changing the world lighting and the mapping effects to see which ones give you the best effect.

Also DBPro seems to anti-alais the whole screen, fuzzing or blurring the edges (Try making a primitive and then 'print "hello world"' to see what I mean.

I'm sure there's a way to turn this effect off (I hope so anyway, its useless for a 3d RTS game I'm building) but I haven't discovered it yet, will update you if I find out soon

All of these factors might help your model look better in DBPro. Hope this helps a lil

Strange... I can.

I will try them from a different site.

Now that I can view your images I think I know what your problem is.

In DB models had no smoothing groups (everything was set to maximum smoothing). DBP supports smoothing and the model rendered in DBPro appears to have no smoothing data.

I see...

The model did look like that in Max before I used a smooth modifier on it.
It was the smooth modifier, not the mesh smooth.
It seems that DB recognizes the modifier, but DBpro does not.

So how do I make it recognize it?
Are their commands in Pro to smooth?
