Is there a way to generate a smooth mesh without manually calculating the
normals first? (from within povray) I was thinking something like replacing
mesh with smooth_mesh, but only having normal triangles inside. If is't not
possible, I have another question (which might be a FAQ).. is it a good way
of calculating vertex normals, by adding all the normals of polygons sharing
that vertex, and then dividing by the number of normals?

Thanks
