I have a basket for a hot air balloon. when I try smoothing it, it will perform the smooth, but it really doesnt do anything. It goes from the low mesh 1700 polies to about 1900 only. I have smoothed it before and it worked fine. I can smooth certain other objects, but then others dont smooth as well. The only changes I made from when it smoothed to now is that all the objects that wont smooth are in a layer and I added textures to the basket.

I have also checked the smooth setting and that is fine.

any ideas?:shrug:

EDIT: I can smooth using proxy smooth, but need to just use the smooth in this case.

Is there already a polysmoothFace node in the history for the object? This may be the source or your problem.

no I got it. I am just retarded. I had the object as a parent with a couple other objects under it. Just a qwerk I guess, but I got it.


thanks though.

Go into Smooth Options, and reset all the settings. Make sure 'keep hard edges' is unticked, and that subdivision method is set to Exponential and not linear.
