Rep Power: 0  | Problems with Smoothing Hello everybody. This is the first time I make something on 3dsmax without the help of a tutorial. I'm trying to make a car I designed myself and I've got some problems with the smoothing. I separated the parts of the car in smoothing groups, but they all are only one object. 1. The corners of the front window must be squary. 2. I would like to smooth only the corners of the rear window, not the whole part  3. I would like to make the side spoiler straight, but it's making a curve  4. It's happening the same problem of the front windows with this part  5. This part is also wrong:  Do you know how to fix these things? Thanks |

Rep Power: 0 | Well, when using smoothing groups, make sure where you want "hard" edges or sharp corners, that the FACES belong to different groups, where the two different groups share the same boundary (edge) this is where IF you have smoothing groups (or smooth by groups option turned on) then it should give you the sharp/hard edges you are after. Another method is to select the edge (in edge mode) and then to Chamfer that edge this creates a tension which then leaves a hard/sharp egde after meshsmooth. Hope that helps. Anhar |
