Glen Crowell Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Old time A:M user here, Has Biased normals replaced porcelain as an option for smoother model surfaces in the current version of A:M? In the old days there was default/normal patch surfaces, which are great for most models, and there was also a Porcelain.mat that would average the surface for smoother surfaces that worked great for some other kinds of models. Maybe a cartoon baby, for example. They were both great and both had advantages and disadvantages. (Don't worry folks, I'm not trying to avoid good modeling technique). The technical manual says that Biased Normals is now the default. Does that mean there is biased and unbiased rendering available now? Or is biased normals the one and only patch surface rendering mode? Jim Talbot or other old time users will know what I'm talking about.

Glen Crowell Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hi Martin, Yep, I'm getting pretty close to buying the V13 upgrade. I've been wanting it for quite some time and it looks like some overtime pay will make it happen. I want to throw my hat in the ring for the TWO project, but I've still got to free up enough time to not let you guys down. Let alone get up to speed with V13. Thanks for the reply, Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
