SkIndigo 3.0.15 (beta)

[Whaat]

I tested on (skindigo) 3.2.5 and the newest build of Indigo (3.2.8 ). Still there.

Me too:
Indigo Renderer v3.2.8, Windows 64-bit build
SkIndigo 3.2.5 Released 7 Jan 2012

Hi cotty,

The issue has to do with your curvature threshold setting. Areas with less curvature are getting subdivided less than other areas which results in smoothing artefacts. You should set it to 0.0 in your case. The default setting of 0.1 is usually good for situations where you are subdividing for the purpose of displacement mapping. However, if you are subdividing and smoothing in order to get a super-smooth mesh, you should set:

1. curvature threshold to 0.0
2. Turn view dependent off

Also, six subdivisions is major overkill on this mesh. 3 should be plenty.

You will find it extremely helpful to change the material to diffuse, and then enable 'random triangle colors' in the Indigo GUI. This will let you see the effects of your subdivision settings.

Cheers,
Dale

PERFECT! (I have never dared to change the default options somewhat )

YES! (see picture)

I never noticed this option before and yes, I find it extremely helpful and will use it very often from today...

Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks Whaat!!!
Love the new features of this beta release, especially the exporting to Indigo. It's fast.

Why is the component "dummy"option not working?

Here is a little example of different subsivision values...
