keta Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi, I wonder if any body could help? I have a simple solid model with some rounded edges. I export to lighwave and the rounded edges are faceted. I can see options to smooth etc.. but they are all greyed out. Ok! I tried export as OBJ. The courners still look faceted and now I have some funky mesh distortion. What is the optimal workflow to get the finished object into lightwave? Thanks in advance. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi Keith, When you import the OBJ file back into formZ and view it in shaded mode, does your object appear to be faceted? In formZ there is a Display Resolution option that can make objects appear to be faceted but are in fact still smooth. Does lightwave have a similar option or a way you can check that the object is indeed faceted? Also, Smooth Shading attributes for an object can be found by picking the object with the Pick tool and selecting Attributes / Smooth Shading in Tool Options palette. Also, have you tried importing the OBJ in any other 3D modeler or viewer and do you get similar results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
