Post by hidalgo » 22 Nov 2013, 11:22

Hello all,

I think there is an option Smooth when subdividing, Choose what u like most ,

I had problems too ,with some clusters i wanted the one or the other way in a single mesh .
So i had to choose and distort some textures.

If you uncheck smooth when subdiv it will use linear uv interpolation so UVs will just be divided not smoothed at all.
One option that is missing in xsi is a border smoothing option...

preciselly! there isnt any workaround that problem which doesnt involve adding edge loop near the corners? that workaround doesnt seems to work allways as it change the edge of the mesh
