say, has this problem been solved in poser6?

thx, A.

Can you be more specific? What problem?

hi stewer!

the problem with welded vertices...where people usually recommend to split them, you know what i mean? still the same in P6?

Andi

In Poser 6 you can turn of smoothing completely or set a max crease angle on a per-object base.

thx for the quick answer!

would you kindly set up a quick shot of a simple six-facet-box with welded vertices and with this max crease angle set accordingly? please do me that favour.....

Here is the Poser box primitive, exported as obj, then imported twice with the "weld identical vertices" option turned on.

Both have smoothing turned on. The upper one has crease angle 100, the lower crease angle was 80. Since the edges are 90 degrees, the lower one is all crease no smoothing, the upper one is all smooth, no crease. Objects with various angles would have various parts smooth or creased as specified.

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)

thanks a lot and big hands, bagginsbill, i owe you a drink....
