Title: Auto-faceting and smoothing for dumbasses
Post by: diamondgeezer on May 08, 2004, 02:26:02 pm

Hoeky dokey, I've had a look through the archives and tried to follow the instructions I found, but I'm not having any success. Basically what I've got it a large cylindrical primitive, and obviously it appears in-game with the specularity picking out all the faces. Can this autofaceting thingy help me to make it look round, and how do I go about it? I've got the appropriate PCs build :nod:

in TS apply auto-faceting, with an angle of 60, convert with the apropriate version of PCS

60, eh?

[EDIT]w00t, sorted. You can still see the faces but then that's what I get for trying use such a perfectly rounded shape I s'pose.

I said 60 cause you said cylender, and I figured that would work best
