I'm using 3DStudioMax and I have never been able to export
correctly the smoothing-groups in a .3DS format,
for me, a .3DS model is always loaded in Blitz with a default
value of 180º for the smooth shading,
two solutions,
- look for a .X exporter, the Panda_DirectX_exporter works good
and it exports the smoothing groups correctly,
- try using the "UpdateNormals" command with your model
after loading it, this can solve the problem in some situations.
