I've been working on blendigo making it work nicer on mac os x. In doing so I would like to demonstrate my elite blender skills...

I'm only using it for personal renders and don't mind the resolution limit so it's okay for me.

If I ever start rendering suzanne for clients I'll definitely buy a licence.

The subsurf recommendation was wesome - go go modifiers. Is there any way to make the normals better around suzannes eyes?

Depends on what you're thinking of when saying "better".

Entering Editmode, selecting all Faces and hitting Ctrl+N to recalculate all normals outside should fix all problems.

If I ever need some suzanne-renders I call you.

PS: Hi to all.

I'm repeating myself every there and now, but Indigo own subdivisions (=subsurf) are great

I suppose you can trig them by using a small black disp map.

Suzanne is not a continuous mesh, the eyes are separated from the rest of the head.

I see, pardon my ignorance... but nothing prevents you to apply the same subdivision level for the eyes, is it ? I tested that and continuity is pretty well preserved between two smoothed, adjacent surfaces; maybe you want to scale the eyes up a bit to seal the volume...

[later]... For suzanne here's how I did:

- close each eye's volume
- make all edges soft (or faces will be exploded)
- add indigo subdivisions (6, with a pixel threshold of 1 for a closeup shot @640x480).

The result is artefacts free. Around 2M polys, against 4M if it was not a view dependent smoothing.

Yeah, it's much easier just to manually fix the eyes- vertice by vertice.

Maybe that's because Indigo evolved since then, but in my case there is no dark circling anymore, unlike in the last pic from that linked thread.

PS: to Ben below: the pigs is next page.

ctzn could you attach the last renders .blend to this thread?
