Is there a flat shading option
Hi,
I'm working on a unity presentation involving a blender model. In blender, there are two shading options: "smooth" and "flat". If I select "smooth", this model in particular looks really crummy (which isn't something I can fix topologically). If it's set to "flat", it works just fine for me. The only problem is that when I import it into unity, it automatically applies the "smooth" look, which makes the model look crummy again. Is there a unity setting comparable to the "flat" shading setting in blender?
Thanks

See this tutorial
Edit: here's the link text...doesn't seem to work as a link http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/articles/go-beyond-retro-pixel-art-with-flat-shaded-3d-in-unity--gamedev-12259
This is however not true flat shading as it does not get its data from one provoking vertex but from 3 redundant vertices. Which really is wasted data, is there a method to really change the shademode in shaderlab?
