If Global mesh rendering setting is enabled 3d objects will have disabled smoothing.

Hi DrawFun and J.C

I tried the example file and can confirm that there's a difference between Global and Scatter (It's smooth in Scatter, but not in Global). BUT if I enable "Auto Smooth" in the mesh data settings it does appear smooth in Global as well.
