What's wrong with my smoothing groups? I used "Auto smooth by UV island" in textools, just like Millenia did. He didn't have these issues. Also, I reset xForms already, didnt solve anything.
Thanks, Swordslayer. I managed to solve my problem. I didn't use the code that you suggested, but I will keep that in mind for when I absolutely need it most. Again, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Well, I ended up reverting to version 1 and it worked, so problem solved for now. Seems pretty unstable though (though that could be my machine), wouldn't fancy having to use it on hundreds of reasonably complex objects.
Thanks pal I hadn't considered laying over the Loomis head like this - there's 1 to remember :) I can solve proportions myself in future. The planar head was actually next on the tick list... New head tomorrow :) thanks
Most Blender Devs are and users are cool. It's the small, vocal, percentage of freetards that ruin it for everyone. If I ever opened a Blender Message board, no one who had a copy of Linux installed would be granted membership. Problem solved.
@kaburan: its not ideal, lol. I just cant think of another way to solve it, that wont leave the surface even lumpier. Its on isoline display, but here goes though: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9381/puhada.jpg
@Retmia, I couldn't agree more. Our team has been solving polys by hand for over a decade, but always trying to find ways to speed up the process! I agree, we need to find an insider at Autodesk!
Seems I understand a solving. I selected need areas and scaled it out with soft selection and then just used relax - polygons have become bigger. I will try to make more accurate UV and then I will share results.
I use the default scanline renderer and a skylight to render my AO maps. Works fine for me. Perhaps you can try that for now (I know it's more of a work around than actually solving your problem )
actually i have been having some problems with my left eye, was wondering whether lasik could solve the problem. it keeps twitching after i stare into the screen for too long, nver happened to me before
