Hi Everyone,

Can you guys help me out with this ship that I made. Its a simple ship made of lofted curves. When rendered the edges looked jagged. What settings do I need to smooth this ship out?

Please help?

Thanks in advance,
TC

ok here's what i got:
if it looks edgy you might need to increase the anitaliasing settings in the render globals like with the image below
--
or if your talking about the line down the middle you might need to insert some more isospams to create a smoother transiotion

Hi mumbojumbo_13,

I did changed the setting in Render Globals
Anti-asliasing Quality
Presets = Production Quality
Edge Anti-aliasing = Highest Quality
but still looked edgy.
Your pic seems to look so much smoother. Am I still missing some setting?

Thanks,
TC

if your running a version of maya with subd's try convertin to that then switching to display level 3 in subd mode - just press 3 on a subd object to get high display

Thanks for wasting your time reading this line.

mumbojumbo: hitting 3 for subds (or even nurbs) doesnt affect what the rendered version looks like, itll always render to the highest quality user added image

the 1, 2 and 3 buttons are just for viewports

Hi Guys,

After looking through at some settings I think there is a solution to render my object smoother. In Rendering menu, select Render|Set NURBS Tesselation|Option Box. Set Curvature Tolerance to Highest Quality.

I thought you guys might want to know.

Thanks,
TC
