      In SU is it possible to have a totally flat colour on ALL faces with NO shading at all ???
      ...
      Normally faces that are at an angle away from the observer have a slight shading to them.
      The more acute the face - the darker the shading.
      Faces that are square on to the observer have a totally flat colour / material.
      This occurs whether shadows are on or off (I require shadows off).
      ...
      Normally this is very useful as it gives us a visual clue to depth in a model.

      I'm working on a model where it would be very useful to have faces that have no shading at all. Is it possible ???
      ...
      I'm exporting views as jpg's and doing some colour replacing in photoshop with each image - but it's quite a tedious operation.
      It would be much better to have an export with no shading.

          I find the result is exactly the same as in Charlie's version if you turn off Shadows and turn on "Use sun for shading"-only SU will run faster.

            Charlie / Anssi,
            Thanks very much to both of you for your help with this.
            I tried both methods and they work really well - just what I needed.
