Parcially smooth mesh

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 07:57:39 GMT

Hi, i am pretty new with maya and i want to ask something that it's been happening to me. Here is a screenshot

If you pay attention you can see a more smooth part and then a non smooth part. I don't know why this happens.

Thanks.

Hi,

The shading is based on the normals.

If you use something like QuadDraw the normals will be set to faces on the new geometry so you get the faceted look as seen in your screenshot.

You can modify normals using the Mesh Display menu.

Try Soften/Harden Edges.

You can choose an angle and if the angle between faces is greater than that angle the normals will be hard, otherwise they will be smoothed.
