I noticed the only way to recalculate a models normals or reset the SDS weight is to switch to model side and back. This becomes apparent when you add divisions manually. Another issue I have on occasion is the model not existing once I return to workspace. The workaround is to mirror in model side then return again to workspace, flatten history, and delete the half you do not want to keep. I've had to re-record a few of my tutorials because of this. I finally came across this work around during one of the last video's so it is clearly documented. Unfortunately, I only kept that particular video, as I wanted the users to see the fix.

I'm just starting to wonder if this problem is just me? A user fault, can anyone confirm this issue? |

I've also noticed that tS doesn't correctly re-facet/smooth the model's normals after geometry has been modified.
Have you tried using the smooth normals tool in WS?

I'm actually refering to(and you'll see this in my vid's) the edge sharpnes with SDS after you make a division with the poly draw tool. |

I ran into this problem trying to model a chess piece for the speed model challenge.
The problem is when creating a new edge, it defaults to 100% sharp instead of matching the surrounding geometry (which, I presume, is 0% sharp). The result looks like a bad crease in an otherwise smooth surface. |

I would definitely upload this scene so the Caligari guys can look at it. I've also had some funny things happening with sub-d, but I'm not sure whether it's my mesh or not at this stage.
You could try to add sub-d in modeler and see if it's better. |

That is my current fix/workaround...BTW Awesome entry for the SMC!
I created a video of the creation if anyone wants to download...I get so mad when tS gives me some grief. |

@Nowherebrain,
Yeah I did see it in the video. I just noticed that you used the facet normals tool but not the smooth normals tool. It definitely an issue with normals/edge weighting on newly created edges (polydraw, add edges).
The funky faceting issues showing in the faces after removing/adding geometry have to do with where TS puts the edge for the triangles that make up each quad and then not re-faceting/re-smoothing the normals.
I'm not sure about the SDS issue, but I agree it's definitely related to using the polydraw and add edges tool to modify geometry.
I really think the dev team should download and watch your video because it highlights a lot of the issues that users have been bringing up.
-Jack. |
