what kind of shading issues are you having? and that guys model is nice,
but certainly not perfect. and entirely possible to do in softimage with
standard tools.
i model cars in softimage all the time with no hassles. just make sure you
plan out your mesh / loops early on. make all panel cuts etc
Thanks James,
I thought and used similar approach but yet, here we tried to reproduce a
similar surface that guy does, and we can't replicate the same smoothness

As you see, the unsubdivided model has clearly visible shading issues, and the

looks like your surface has more of a curve to it though, the more curved
it is the more issues like that will show up..
also, i doubt 3dsmax subdivides much different from softimage or maya for
that matter, maybe you could ask the guy to send you that piece of the
model as an obj so you can try
Just a thought but have you looked at
the geometry approximation settings? Maybe there is a difference
there?

oh, and make sure to check shading with highquality viewport, which
pixelshades instead of vertex shades

Thanks guys!
Geo Approximation doesn't have too much effect at this moment, setting to Angle
dependent helps a bit. HQV also helps a bit but nothing really helps this. So
guys, so there any special tricks you use for daily hard surface modeling?

From:
Maybe you're missing edges in your borders. You'll need to use more edges
in your borders to fix the shading.
When you are working with low poly objects and don't want to use hard
edges, add an extra edge to your borders to make it look like a rounded
bevel, with soft edges and a high geometry
I personally find hard surface modeling with Subd's in mind really tough,
simply because you run into problems like the ones you are getting frequently
and easily. You need to jump through all kinds of hoops (additional edges and
bevels, creases, hard edges) to make certain mesh topologies
Assuming you used the bevel tool, check the hard edges option. If this is
done totally
through subdivision sect the edge loop on the inside part of the hole and
make that a hard edge.

Can anyone think of a clever way to freeze a mesh that's enveloped but
not destructively?
I'm adding some simulation functions to our character rig, basically just a
copy of the enveloped mesh that I am using for particle generation. In
order for my setup to work, it needs to be a static pose. So
a bit leftfield perhaps but could you have a copy of the character mesh which
is frozen and then use ice to have the copy follow the original? You could then
blend between the animated version and the static one.

Hey there,
I Posted this on the Mom User group, but sometimes it's very quiet so I
post my question here too.

I have a car that spins (Keyframe rotations and translations) in the air
and then falls heavily on the ground. When it falls
Always like that, I post and I find a simple solution 10min after...
Setting mass to 0 gives freedom to keyframe...
It's not blending yet, but it's a progress... ^^

Have you tried setting the Geometry Approximation [tab] Polygon Mesh angle
from 60 to 40?
I find this to be a more eye pleasing setting.
