Circular Ball
Hi can anyone help? I have imported a sphere from sketchup and when I render in cinema 4d the sphere appears to be made of a number of squares. The same happens if I produce the same model in archicad. I render in cinema 4d but can not model with this program hence why the sphere is made in sketchup. For a better understanding I have attached an image of the edited sphere to illustrate the problem.
If anyone can tell me how to correct this issue that would be great. Kind regards Tom |

Re: Circular Ball
Take the imported ball object and drop it into a hypernurbs object in C4D... drop meaning making the ball object a child in the hierarchy of the Hypernurbs. The parameters in teh hyper nurbs will allow you to smooth. May not work perfect, but there are always ways around imperfection

Re: Circular Ball
Have you optimised the model after import???
Do you have a phong tag on it??? Also you do not have enough facets in your model coming from Sketch up... Modelling this in c4d will take seconds though... just create a sphere up the segments in the attributes till you get a good round object... Make it editable(press C) loop select the loops you want to push in... (press ul) Then press d and click and drag on the screen somewhere.... not on the object though.... Regards Lee
