Normals Issue

Greg DAlessandro

Does anyone know how I could fix these normals?
[A] The gradiant square
less triangulation-like facets



- The top is default
- Middle I added an edge loop lower in the cylinder
- The bottom I added edge loops around the "box shaped" edge loop

No matter what I do I can't get rid of that ugly gradient. (shaped like a square)

Try using hard edges. You can harden edges under Normals>Harden Edge

Add an edge loop (or two) at the base of the outer ring instead of outside the perimiter (your third shot). This should give the normals room to transition.
