Smooth it?
 
How to convert a 8 sided polygon into a torus shape?

In one of my tutorial the guy uses a button which doesn't work for me.


We created 2 nurb circles, loft them together, then converted it to a polygon, which turned out to be a 8 sided one.

Now I want to smooth it out.

Any ideas?:headbang:

Well, the only way that I was able to do this is:

Modify>Convert>Subdv to Polygon

Then

Modify>Convert>Polygon to Nurbs.



WHY? I have no clue.
I tried Modify>Convert>Polygon to Nurbs without the Modify>Convert>Subdv to Polygon but it didn't work.


:confused:

found it,

Mesh > Smooth.

Not only can you smooth an entire object, you can also smooth faces. Just select some faces, then perform the Mesh>Smooth. This is useful if you want to keep poly count low and you don't need all the parts of an object smoothed.
