  • defined edges

    why is it that on the same object some edges are defined and some are smooth? How do I change them to either smooth or defined

    Is this an object that is Smoothed or has a Smooth Proxy?

    Also, if you could post a screenshot to show what you mean, that could help to pinpoint the problem too.

      heres what it looks like

      In smooth shaded mode the mustache is partly smooth and partly flat. When I render it, It is also partly flat shaded. I want it to be all smooth or all flat.

        Very interesting. Have you checked to make sure that your normals are all facing the same way?

        Also, have you worked with the Soften/Harden options? It looks a bit like some of the edges might have been softened. You might try selected all the polygons of the beard, and select Edit Polygons>Normals>Soften/Harden.

        In the options there, make sure to select All Harden (so the setting is 0) and hit apply.

        If that still doesn't work, post a copy of just the beard here on the forums and I'll take a look.

          that did it. thank you

          I selected all the faces and soften all polygons.
          I don't recall ever messing with that in the first place.
          thanks

          also how are we to present this 1st single mesh

            Glad that worked.

            You can just bring in the model. We'll be doing some renderings to look at it; so if you'd like to come with some prepared, that would be nice.
