Ah - that'll do it!

The ASE format has vertex normals but they are wrong. :(  You'll either have to compute them yourself or fix the ASE exporter and use that.  The ASE exporter source comes with 3DSMAX in the MAXSDK cdrom folder.  Blake Senftner has a *fixed* ASE exporter here: http://www.pond.net/~davem/asciiexp/.  I have not had time to look at this.  If the format is still compatible with the *old* ase format and the vertex normals are correct, I can fix the ASE loader in SSG to read them.  Please let me know if you can help investigate.

Can you detect when you get an old-style file and generate normals like ssgLoadAC does?  (AC3D
files *never* contain normals).
