set smooth problem

#1

I have finally finished a mesh and when I set it smooth I get dark areas that look like stressed while it is simple and it is in the waist area.

moving vertices is apparently not helping.
Any suggestions?
thanx

Sounds like you have inverted normals on some faces.

In Edit mode, select all faces and recalculate the normals [Ctrl+N].

#3

There’s also a display option (it varies depending on what version you’re using) that will show you the orientation of surface normal through little tags.

changing the normals fixed my issue. thanx. :slight_smile:
