stats window triangle count and normal calculation bug?

Back in the days, if I import a sphere and set the import normal smoothing angle to 0 to turn it into a faceted sphere, I'd get double the number of triangles because internally, unity would duplicate edges.
what I'm seeing now is that if I set the smoothing angle to 180 or 0 won't change the polycount of the scene.
Is this a bug in the stats window or a new way unity handles normal angle at import?

 

Do you still get a faceted sphere? Because if not, this sounds suspiciously like a bug and should be logged.

But if you still get a faceted sphere, all is good. Vertex count should increase, but not triangle count.

 

I was looking at polycount, thanks! yes vertex quadruple.

 

While I have your attention, I want to do flat shaded but without the vertex cost. In the past I've used the nointerpolation keyword writing a very simple CG shader but now I need to use surface shader what's the keyword in that?

Code (CSharp):

1.             struct v2f
2.             {
3.                 float2 uv : TEXCOORD0;
4.                 SHADOW_COORDS(1)
5.                 nointerpolation fixed3 diff : COLOR0;
6.                 nointerpolation fixed3 ambient : COLOR1;
7.                 float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
8.             };

 

Please restrict posting in beta forums for beta issues, this is clearly spelled out in the rules. If we don't enforce some sanity, everyone else will do it.

Hopefully someone can reply to your issue anyway.
