strange aspect in xsi

[shadowfork]

I thought it was a Primitive Egg :bounce: j/k

That is strange though.

Yeah I don't understand a lot of stuff about aspect ratio in 3d. My renderings always look different from the stuff I see in realtime. (aspect wise) I try adjusting it but I don't know how to get it so what I see is what I get in. I have this problem in maya and other 3d apps.. It always seems a little off.

May be its just the angle of view of your camera. change the zoom value with "Z" and you may get better result.

Personnaly i dont see the deformation.

[thorn3d]

If your viewport is set to a ratio of 1.33 (camera setting), then you'll see objects stretched.

edit: nm. i have no clue.

Try using the "user" mode instead of camera. If you must use the camera view and what it correct, try setting the aspect ratio to "1" :)

it is because you are in subD mode with not enough subdivisions on your polysphere in the U direction.
if you hit "-" a few times you will see that it becomes sperical again.
so if you want a nice round subD polysphere you have to add subdivisions in U or scale it down in Y

ok, it seems that i did find a solution to this:

camera "icon" > properties > global transform > scaling > scaling > x=0.9

Ok, no offense... but that's just not correct at all. Stretched views have nothing to do with modeling.

true .. but in this case it's not the view that's streched but the sphere .. at least i think so!
(or maybe i misunderstood his problem)

Chrischan (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=42222) is right! if i increase the meridians on the sphere it will look normal!

[thorn3d]

Then there's something weird in your scene. If you have created a sphere primitive, any adjustments to the u/v segments shouldnt cause it to squish (IE, it SHOULDNT, as a sphere is round by definition.)

However, if you're creating an object with subdivision surfaces - well, that's an entirely different matter. Which means you didn't have a sphere in your scene, you had some deformed cube-subdivided thing.

So just curious - what kind of object ARE you taking a pic of in that screenshot?

I tried something create a sphere with not much subdivision.

go into subd by pressing '+' and then you'll se that it dont make a real sphere.

thats absolutely normal. Because it is not a sphere but a shape that look like a sphere.

But if you creat a sphere with a lot of subdivision and then press '+' it would look more like a sphere.

Personally when i need a sphere or something that need to be a perfect sphere a create a surface sphere so it look really good without too much probleme.
