Problem with "Set Smooth" on simple mesh

MSUdom5 · Post by **MSUdom5** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 9:31 am

I have a pretty simple mesh that I don't want to subsurf, but when I "Set Smooth" in Blender, Indigo renders some distortions.

Blender File is here:

Anyone have an idea why I'm getting these distortions?

Thanks.

Ugh, didn't check my normals... And I even swore to myself that I'd never post problems here without checking my normals. Never wanted to be "that guy".

Well, I was just about to say "Check normals dude"

I think, the normals' directions weren't the only problem... Higher SubD should also work wonders

Try to use Add Modifier then Edge split.
