smoothing groups problem
-
13 Mar 2008
this is the problem i want a sharp edge but i want also that it follows the flow but when i change the sm groups it crunches like this.
any sugesstions.? -
13 Mar 2008oh and its all quads and no error or duplicate edge or whatever

mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts13 Mar 2008if its not a big deal pass me the file or at least cut that part out and i will do it in my free time ^_^ which is tonight which is now (i am a bat i hope to become a robot like tyson never giveup never sleep keep doing more cgs) -
13 Mar 2008here ya go its a max 2008 file and i use final render you probably going to have some error msg but it'll work.
its the part in the front -
mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts13 Mar 2008man you have one missed up cage in there, still trying to figure where is this crisscross thing
dunno what to call it i had this virts/edges problem something is connected in a wrong way that chamfering one of those edge points should give out 4 points cause 4 other points are connected to it instead its chamfering 5 points and the fifth is like floating so i did a series of useless cuts, and i was write some edges couldn't be connected cause the polygons are either flipped or something so i forced it to work by making a whole cut in this shape on all faces + then re welded some of them and fixed that edge.
ONCE I COME UP WITH THE PERFECT SOLUTION I WILL UPDATE YOU
sorry not too quick on replying and even ditching my projects have to finish five 20sec animations in one day for work. -
13 Mar 2008Looks like a problem with your geometry...specifically, it looks like some edges aren't welded.
Make sure all of your edges are welded and let me know if that did the trick

mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts14 Mar 2008tyson ma man i tried to solve his problem with your method and nope i even tried 100 as a value of welding for edges and verts the only way i found is to force create cuts that will connect the faces its like you said some weird edge problem, i am going to make a video tutorial on how to fix this issue

mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts14 Mar 2008no can do the only way to reduce it 95% of the problem is creating a slice a bit up the lower edges of the hole on the hole model using quick splice tool fastest way but leaves A VERY VERY LITTLE EFFECT VERY LITTLE
it has same result of my image up there -
14 Mar 2008Ooooooooh you're modelling with subdivision surfaces. Well I can't help you there mate...I never model that way.
