Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hy There,

I just figured out a strange behavior of the maxwell renderer.

I created a simple sphere in MAX textured it with a Bump map and sent it to render in Maxwell.
I attach a Pic of the result...the smoothing is wrong!



I am talking about the facetting, not the horizontal lines...

Sure, I can export it to studio and recalculate the normals but I am not into studio and it need to be done like today. I know MAX better and this shouldn´t be a problem? Correct me if I am wrong...

Anybody an idea?

Thanks in advance...d.

it's a well known problem... there you go:

Raise the polygon resolution on that sphere!

yeah there is no other possibility and it sounds like there never will be any other

All right,

thanks for the answers! Sorry that I didn´t find the former post, I did search, but didn´t find anything about smoothing. Here they call it jagged.

Than I try to subdivide the mesh...

Greetings, d.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm still having these issues. This is still unsolved, correct?

If somebody figured out a solution other than raising the density of the mesh itself, let me know!
