I'm trying to achieve smooth shading on a model with subsurface. It worked pretty well until recently, now smooth shading works only with edges under certain angle. I don't use the edge split modifier.

Edit mode:

model on edit mode

Object mode:

model on object mode

Disabling the subsurface mod:

object without subsurface

Joining another object with smooth edges:

join another smooth object

You can have a look at my blender 2.8 project here

    $\begingroup$ This is due to autosmooth (mesh properties, normal part). Try to either deactivate it or tune the value (maybe 180°) so that the arm will be smooth and the nails stay sharp. $\endgroup$
