xander3 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 when drawing an arc or extruding a circle you can always see segments instead of smooth curves. what do i need to do so that everything appears smooth.. Quote
fuccaro Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Try to change the values stored in VIEWRES and FACETRES. If that doesn't help, search in the forum for other options; this question was answered before. Quote
shift1313 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 VIEWRES changes the number of polygons it takes to make a circle. If you have this number really low(like 10) it will use 10 straight lines to create your circle. If you bump this up to say 500 it will appear to smooth out. The circle is still a circle, just graphically its represented in this manner. FACETRES is similar but it controls the mesh density. This numbers is 0-10 and correlates to your VIEWRES setting. If you set VIEWRES to 10, and FACETRES to 2 it will have twice as many tessalation lines. FACETRES only affects solid objects. Quote
Patrick Hughes Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Shift's variables will control the smoothness of your objects but you might also look at the DISPSILH (display silhouette) and set it to 1 Quote
