I'm making a new rule. When you make a new thread and the one currently at the top of the forum is the same topic, you have to pay me a dollar.

If you think that thread isn't the same topic, you owe me $2. grin


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)

Two possible aproaches:

You switch off smooting in the properties of your object, or you can change teh smoothing angle to make it behave better.

Or, if it's a prop without much morphs, open it in an editor and add some edges to the misbehaving parts of your model.

You can turn smoothing ON or OFF on each and every group in an object.
You can control each crease angle for each and every group also.

In the render settings, you can control SMOOTING ON or OFF for the whole render;

In General Preferences, you can control the master setting for Smoothing also.

Smoothing, is one of Posers most versatile options.
General?
Per object?
Per group.

And / or?

You can make a separate group with the group editor and control the smoothing even further.

I wish we could have a properties tab for each material (not just each group). I would love to be able to alter the properties (including smoothing) of some materials, not just their groups.

If I could make transmapped eyelashes invisible to Raytracing, many of my renders would be faster.

Go to the properties tab of the item in question and uncheck "smoothing." That will fix it.

Also check out Dr. Geeps tutorial in that Edges thread that Bagginsbill linked to.

change crease angle to 43 in cr2

use uvmapper to split vertices

or

turn off smoothing on the parts and/or the render as stated above

What bugs me is when a vendor releases a paid product with ballooning problems and I have to fix the smoothing myself. 

And I think we should all pay BagginsBill a dollar, just because.
