https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-modeling-forum/artifacts-when-inserting-new-edges-with-multicut-tool-at-scanned/m-p/8654966#M11161 <P>Hello!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I'm pretty new to Maya. Currently I am working on my bachelor thesis. For this I compare different recording methods for interactive objects. My test object is a control cabinet.<BR />When post-processing the scan data in Maya, I currently have problems. To open the cabinet doors, I have to add more edges. As soon as I try this with the multi-cut tool in Maya, I get artifacts on the newly inserted edges (see the attached screenshot). For the other recording methods I could use the tool without any problems.<BR />With the program CloudCompare the original point cloud was converted to the mesh, then I created a texture map from the Vertex Colors in Maya. Maybe there was a mistake somewhere?</P> <P>I am not sure if I should write in modeling or in shading board. Because if I set Flat Shade instead of Smooth shade in the panel, the whole mesh is brighter and the artifacts are no longer visible. But if I export the mesh and load it into Unity, you can see the artifacts again.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I really hope that one of you understands this problem and knows how to solve it.</P> <P>I attached a screenshot (on which the problem can be seen), as well as the model as an fbx and the required texture map for the model.

Select the verticles in the area and "mesh display - set vertex normal"</P> Wed, 13 Mar 2019 09:50:03 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-modeling-forum/artifacts-when-inserting-new-edges-with-multicut-tool-at-scanned/m-p/8655012#M11162 Fovvl 2019-03-13T09:50:03Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-modeling-forum/artifacts-when-inserting-new-edges-with-multicut-tool-at-scanned/m-p/8655027#M11163 <P>Fixed it!
