    The course has already mentioned some problems caused by the rays fired along the split normals. But my question is that:

    I don’t understand how the rays can fire from the cage’s edge along the average normal. Because this is only possible if the “Shade Smooth” is applied. With the “Shade Flat”, the cage only has split normals. However, this course does not mention that the “Shade Smooth” is applied.
