i had a go, but still the same - tangent is on 0
OK i had a look at the preferences and i changed them, it was on 0 as default, i changed the value also and it didn't do much when i went to Mesh - SMooth.
I set up the 3 shortcut myself, but by default it should be the same thing as mesh smooth.
I tried both ways though 3 key and mesh smooth, no difference. I also tried 1 and 2. nothing happens, thats why i went about setting up the 3 shortcut.
Thanks for the explanation, thats what i was told, but i wasn't quite clear before.
hmm. so how would i go about doing this tut then, a smooth is used but not as sophisticated as the result im getting/too much of a smooth.
Is there another setting within maya that has been overlooked, i have had a play with the mesh smooth settings, maybe i didn't hit the exact one?
