I have browsed around and googled myself silly but I am struggling with the following:
if I model a cylinder/extrusion ( let's say 1/4" diameter ) the circle consists of about 24 segments or so, when looked at from further away it looks smooth but zoomed in you can clearly see the segments. Now if I put another cylinder next to it, about 1foot in diameter and look at them both, they seem to have the same amount of segments.
when setting up a nice close render I will have a big segmented cylinder next to the small one ( that looks good now from further away )
how can I control the resolution of the circle or arcs, it is bugging me when making i.e lampshades and other small scale families that I place in close up scenes... I cannot seem to find any information on this... your help is greatly appreciated
apologies for the long post, I am sure it could have been written in one sentence... :)
