Hi there guys, I'm now trying to get used to editing normals and using smooth groups. Has anyone noticed that after using the "edit normals" modifier, smooth groups and graphite modeling's smooth function in the polygon modeling tab no longer works? It works only after I've hit the reset button in the "edit normals"…
Never had this bug but maybe. Also, yes, if you collapse the edit normal, the edited normals are baked in the editable poly. The 2 systems can cohabit. Non explicit normals (dark blue) will be set by smoothing groups while explicit normals (green or light blue) overrides the smoothing groups. Adding an edit poly just…
i guess you're right. But what I'm saying is that this is true even after one collapses the stack. Basically I unified the normals using "Edit Normals" and collapsed the stack. I then tried to modify the normals using the "smooth groups" way and found that I could not. Only after I created another "edit normals" modifier…
if it's a matter of not being able to edit smoothing groups no matter what you do..it's a bug that crept in somewhere around max 2010 that seems to happen randomly... usually resetting the xform, adding an edit poly, then collapsing the stack, fixes it..although sometimes it seems you have to remove the complete geo as a…
