Member Sladus Posted September 12, 2014 Member Share Posted September 12, 2014 Almost all objects I make that have edges that are not round come out jagged after retopology or uv room. Everything looks great until I bring it into the paint room or render it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Sladus Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks. I'll try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sladus Posted September 18, 2014 Author Member Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have tried several times to post a pic. It will not let me. Not sure what to do. I have had problems with the jagged edges since I bought the commercial version on steam. It may be something I'm doing wrong though. Very disappointing.

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted September 18, 2014 Reputable Contributor Share Posted September 18, 2014 All done in 3dCoat. Voxels off in paint room. Where do I upload a pic to? Carlos mentioned one way. You can also click on the uploaded image > copy (CTRL + C) the web address > click on the IMAGE icon in your formatting options bar (just above your text) > paste address there. It will embed the image in your post. Usually a screen grab is the only way for any of us to be able to help...cause it's usually one small little thing (like not having the right layer selected, a small option is checked/unchecked, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sladus Posted September 22, 2014 Author Member Share Posted September 22, 2014 Here is a pic with Show voxels in paint room turned off. If it is on, everything looks perfect. When I turn it off, this is what happens. Sorry about not responding sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor ajz3d Posted September 23, 2014 Contributor Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here are screen shots. One with Wireframe and Voxels on in Paint room. The other just Wireframe on. How does this part of your retopo mesh look like? What are your bake settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sladus Posted September 28, 2014 Author Member Share Posted September 28, 2014 I don't know. I'm not sure what you mean by bake settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted September 28, 2014 Contributor Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) I don't know. I'm not sure what you mean by bake settings.How do you take your retopo mesh to Paint Room? PS. There were some language changes since the latest stable version. Bake settings == Merge settings.

Member Sladus Posted September 28, 2014 Author Member Share Posted September 28, 2014 I go from Voxel room using Auto Topo for per pixel, then once I get it looking ok, I go from Retopo room to pain room by Merge with NM (per pixel).

Contributor TimmyZDesign Posted September 28, 2014 Contributor Share Posted September 28, 2014 It looks to me like the autopo algorithm did not capture the hard edges of your voxel model. Generally speaking, autopo is not very good at capturing hard edges. I would recommend doing manual retopology instead of autopo. That way you can set the hard edges exactly where they need to be instead of letting the computer guess for you. If you still want to try autopo, then try using guide strokes, increasing the resolution quite a bit, and also try using the hard edge setting in the settings dialog.
