Smudge on patch

[Phil]

Hi all,

 

This has been driving me nuts, The smudge on the forhead is only showing here. when I render the model, it goes away.

Any ideas? Something to do with a 5 point patch? It's happening on both sides.

Five point patches are notorious for that. But if it renders OK in final, then I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, that patch doesn't get extreme movements so I wouldn't worry about it too much

I think it's just how realtime is reading the decal, on the 5 pointer, you have for the hair. I've seen this before, no big deal.

Nice head model. Did you just use the thread to show it off? He kind of looks like Forest Gump.

No, Just wanted to know about the smudge. He's a work in progress I'll post him when i get done with the rest of the body.

He'll be my first attempt in using the new rig

Here's some progress, Just a few more things then on to rigging. any comments are welcomed

Great looking model. Nice work.

Check your NORMALS direction SHIFT+1

 

That shading is caused when the adjacent patches are not all facing the same direction. use the PATCH SELECT button to select the offending patch, then type F to flip the normal direction.

I checked all the normals, there all facing outwards

 

Thanks Dhar

Send the head in to www.hash.com/reports with an explanation of the problem and pics to illustrate it.

 

Does the problem persist if you remove all the decals from the model? I recall having a similar problem where a part of a decal would show up on patches I had hidden to prevent them from getting stamped by the decal.

 

Good looking character!

I don't think you need to worry about that smudge, it won't show up in final render. I say this because Barry's model "Will" has the same issues in quick render, but it is OK in final.
