    Default newbie question - how to "smooth" out the polygons of car model?

    Hey Guys,

    Got a car model that I’m trying to smooth a bit, the polygons are quite "obvious" I guess is the best way to say it. (See pic)

    I’ve tried the Smoothing Tool but it just goes way too far and distorts the model.

    Any suggestions on how to eliminate the blocky-ness in the car’s surface?

    Thanks in advance,

    D.

    If your smooth tool is grossly distorting the model, then adjust your tool's settings.

    Another option would be to add faces to problem areas, and adjust accordingly. This would provide less overall adjustment, and focus your adjustments to a much smaller area (i.e., the door handle vs. the door).

    Hope this helps!

    BTW - That is why I prefer working with NURBS.

    If you've just started taking classes, then you're in for a lot of information... some find that to be hard enough.

    However, if you really want some good tutorials then I'd suggest that you consider getting some classmates together to pitch in enough $$$ for a training pack of DVDs (then make copies for all who pitched in), or sign up at an online tutorial site like Digital Tutors.

    I'm sure there are other great sites out there too.
