It adds hard edges automatically at any edge with an angle greater than the set angle. Set your mesh to Auto Smooth and 180: everything will be smooth, because no angle is is greater than 180.

So i didn't exactly do what i was set to do because i got really sick soon after but now i'm all better and started to learn again. I also entered the feb. contest as Digital Tutors set a small goal for myself to accomplish at the end of the month. So first thing i went and did was going over what little i had learned for…

This can be done in default Maya but its cumbersome and involves multiple steps: * Select components to be moved * Activate the axis they are to be moved along…

@PolyHertz Still, I think it's hardly an effort to let the candidate know about the situation whatever the case may be. It's the complete non-response that is so infuriating. It is at least for me. Review of the candidate's test is out of the hands of the human resource agent or recruiter. I don't hold them accountable for…
