Smoothing? That's working fine but it doesn't change the fact that the object isn't round. All that does is interpolate the surface normals so that the lighting of a polygon makes it appear rounded instead of flat. The polygon is still flat, though.

Poser's Firefly renderer (and many other renderers) can actually change the geometry itself, so that things that are supposed to be round are round.

This lets you use low-poly figures. You may think that's ok - V4 is high poly. Well she's not THAT high poly. If you render a head shot, nice and big, you'll see the non-roundness of the edge of her head and ears. Turn on smoothing, and she's all round and soft-edged.

 


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
