I'm trying to use the shape modifiers but I can't get them to behave. I am attaching an image show a simple low poly sphere that I place a height displacement and a subdivision modifier. the displacement works but the underlying mesh shows up as a series of broken planes. AmI doing something wrong or is it a bug?
thanks,
Val

This should happen only if sphere "tiles" do not share border edges (i.e. they are duplicated). Can you post a test .blend ?

Ha, I worked it out. If shade smooth is on it works. If shade flat is on it tiles like the example.

Yes, because flat shade requires to duplicate the sharp edges (i.e. you have different normals on each side of the edge).
