Can see edges/faces when rendering?
Hi all, first post here!
I don't know what this falls under but sometimes when i render a scene i can see hard edges and what seems to be a smooth cylinder/sphere and i was just wondering if someone could suggest a solution for now and for the future? ![]() As you can see on the pipes (top right slightly) the edges are showing? Thanks in advance! ![]() |

I guess it's a spline (and not a mesh) you have to check your auto-smooth angle amount.
If it's a mesh (preferably a "poly") use the "smoothing group" section |

That worked! =D
Thanks ever so much, is it possible for a quick run-down on what smoothing groups does? I've seen it before but never paid much attention to it. Thanks! |

Glad I could help you. Check attachments for a "small explanation", you can use more than one smoothing group on a face. And if you want to use "fast" smoothing groups, check the "Auto smooth" function with the angle amount of "smoothing limit"
Easy explained it's a very easy & simple way to give a visual illusion that faces are "smooth" and blend into each other. You can do that for instance with a box too, with faces that have an angle of 90° (or even more). It's easy to use smoothing groups for simple shapes to give the impression that they are smooth without using some turbosmooth-stuff or very dense meshes. Hope this helps |
