problems with proboolean in polygons

Recommended Posts

You could try deleting the faces and re-creating them manually, it sometimes works for me.

I am also having the same trouble with smoothing on a Afgan building i'm making.

can any 3d studio max wizards help us out?

Right now it looks like either the 3d geometry of the baseplate physically changed to create an unsmooth surface, or the proboolean isn't doing a very good job. Try using edit triangulation or adding edges to form a more logical shape.

 

 

Jib, are they in the same smoothing group as the rest of the shape?

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

yes i can help. try to clean the mesh after applying the proboolean. you can do this by removing unnecessary vertices and after you do that connect the remaining to create polygons with 4 edges or 5 edges at max..to do this you need to convert it again to "editable poly" after you apply the proboolean.

 

another thing i do is to detach the polys around the area where you want to apply the proboolean and after that i clean the boolean polys and atach them again to the initial piece. this way you avoid the general shape deformation having the deformation only on a small part of it(so it won't be so visible). of course this means you have to apply the proboolean piece by piece.

It looks like smoothing groups issues. The outer polys of that airbrack must be in diferent smoothing groups than holes polys.

 

If this is already done, than rightclick on your object and go to "object properties" and uncheck "show edges only".

Than, inside "edit poly"/edges check "turn" and start picking this problematic edges. They will change vertices and smoothing apearence with neighbor polys will change also.

I found a good tutorial on smomthing groups

 

I found a good video tutorial on smoothing groups.

This sound like a good technique, I wish I had heard about it earlier before using boolean to put cracks into my walls and messed up all my verts

 

Thanks

I´m creating mirage f1 airbrack, when I use proobolean or bollean I have problems with polygons and smooth, here there are, any ideas?

 

Yeah in my experience it can be quite tricky to get a good result with this technique - especially if you are trying to cut multiple things in one go.

 

I don't know how complex a shape the airbrake panel has aside from the curvature, but you could try making it manually(in a flat profile) and then use "taper" to get the curvature.

you cant highlight the faces and choose smoothing group manually?

 

I've had to do this to almost every mesh lately.

 

Ignore Backface, Highlight a Side, Unify normals, Assign a Smoothing group, or turn smoothing off completely for that set of faces, which ever looks better. do the same for the reverse side. Then for the inside of the holes.

 

you think smoothing is tough, wait till you get everything set up nicely in max, only to export it and get a scrambled mess of polygons because ED's engine doesnt like the Meshes Transforms, lol.. its a Pain!

You can choose the faces and apply a smooth modifier.

 

One more thing what I do is built a model that is 1:200 the scale of the original size and when the whole model si complete just resize it to actual size. Functions like chamfer, boolean and many many other stuff work great that way.

Large. What I do is when I'm making the model I make the planes the size of blue-prints that I'm using and don't resize it until I'm done. That way you can do all the editing the way you like forgetting about the minimum possible limits of max and the added advantage is you can zoom it as much as you like.

 

Like I'm making a model it LAV-AD which is some 1.5Km in length and equilent other dimensions. Once I'm dome modeling I will make a reference box and resize it to the actual size and done.

Moving the vertex will fix the problem,, move 1 vertex at the location where the problem located (find the correct axis) then render.. had this issue before and moving vertex always fixed for me.. if this dosnt work then u have double vertex at the same location with different Z value

i tend to over sample, make so many triangles, and position them so a boolean cut doesnt contain any vertices, just faces and edges.
