hard Edges in c4d like Maya?

[wolf-cub-one]

Does c4d have hard edges like Maya does? I have a box and when i put it in a hyper nurbs it smooths the sharp corners and makes the round i want them to stay square.

Yes, this is possible. It is called weighted HyperNurbs. There is a tutorial on the Maxon website that shows you how to do this. it is in the tips & trick section under Modeling->Weighting HyperNurbs.

Hope this helps

Just some .jpg's shows the sharpness of the edge %'s

also, once you have weighted the hypernurbs you can add the illusion of further sharpness by selecting edges and breaking the phong shading

I was just wondering. I understand about selecting the edges but do you 'break'
the phong shading on just the edges? If so, how?

Is there some way of adjusting the phong shading on a selected area?

there is a command called Break Phong Shading, it should be under Functions.... I don't think you have more control than that though, you cannot set a different angle for the phong shading of a limited area, afaik..- all you can do is break the edges of an area's outline..

I find this very useful, sometimes weighted hypernurbs just doesn't look snappy enough, but if you select the edges on the underlying poly object and break the phong shading you get a really crisp edge. you normally need to do this on a complete edge loop to avoid smoothing oddities though...
