Smooth a sphere

#1

WHen I try to smooth a sphere, I found a cone on the side of the sphere. Just wonder why it look like that?

#2

It looks like that is one of the sphere’s poles, so there are numerous edges connected to a single point, which creates that tight spot. Try running qRemesher on your mesh: Tool Palette > Geometry > qRemesher

Choose either half, same, or double to define how many polys you want, and then hit the big qRemesher button and it should give you a better mesh to work with.

Hope the helps :slight_smile:

ZRemesher will also do the same thing, that is redistribute the polys and get rid of the poles.

#4

Try releasing the shift key when smoothing, it runs a different algorithm.
