Hi all,

I was wondering if using the soft/hard feature in maya would result like the attached image:

Shade + wire is before it is applied, and result is after it is applied.

Depending on the soft/hard angle, yes, that is how it would look.

Thanks alot hanskloss. So you have one feature named Soft/Hard which works based on angle? I was writing something that would make it soft if soft is used or hard if hard is used.

So the angle decides whether it is soft or hard, right? If so, 180 would result like that?




Thanks again,
Light

In Maya 180 is all soft, 0 would be all hard giving you a really hard edge. From the screenshot I see the "shaded" is smooth/softened angle, and the "result" is hard edged.
