Member Promethias Posted May 12, 2011 Member Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have used the merge tool to drop cool looking objects into the scene only to find them look like a clump of clay?I then have to increase the resolution to 4x and they look good which is cool,but my question here is there wa away to start a object in 4x resolution or do i have to start a object like clay then up it to 4x ,erase the object and then place my object.This seems to work but if there is a way to drop the first step i wouldnt mind knowing how to. Also i have seen the cool video using the merge tool to put nice looking objects together into spaceships ect, I have 8 gigs of dd3 ram and 1 gig video card and my computer doesnt seem to handle nearly as fast as the one in the video. actually there is about a 4-5 second time frame to place the object in 4x resolution,Am i doing something wrong or is there a setting i should have turned on to try doing this? Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Promethias Posted May 12, 2011 Author Member Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 nevermind about the placing items it seems to be working good in 4x i might have been in 8x...but on that point what resolution where they using in the videos making the spaceship?

Javis Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm guessing, but probably roughly 4-8x. Once you start getting any higher the performance takes a huge hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Don't forget if you're merging objects in scaling them changes the resolution of the object. Larger scale = higher resolution, you can see an estimated poly count in the merge tool options panel, it changes while you change the scale.

Member Promethias Posted May 17, 2011 Author Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thankyou i did notice at times i was making the item way to small and it came out like clay but when i enlarged the item it looked way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
