How to fix smoothing Errors in 3D Studio Max

This is another shitty tut on how to fix smoothing errors in 3ds max "mah way", a.k.a the lazy man's way.

You can probably do this in a more professional way by assigning the model to smoothing groups, but i'l save that for some other time. (probably never)

I have 3Ds Max 9, but you can probably do it in any other version of it...

Ok, here it goes:

First, you open up your model with the smoothing errors.
In the modification tab (the one with the icon of a bended..... um.. thing) on your right,
click the 'Modifier List' and scroll down till you find the 'Smooth' option.
Select that.

Again, on your right there will be a 'Parameters' tab.
Select 'Auto Smooth' and change the 'Threshold' to something around 30,00.

And look at that, the smoothing errors are gone.

Note: If you dont select 'Auto Smooth', you will see the smoothing groups below. Select a part of the model that you want smoothed and assign it to that smoothing group by clicking on the group number (ex: [1] is smoothing group one [2] is smoothing group 2 etc.)
Feel free to experiment with this...^



Well, hope that my 'Engrish wasn't that bad...

My engrish is limited (as you can see form the crappy tut); wat is 'gluteus'?

The gluteus maximus muscle is the largest and the most important of three gluteal muscles (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscle). It's one of the most powerful muscles in human body. It plays pretty important role in whole body motions (walking, running, rotating hip, etc.).

In simple English, it's the largest muscle that forms your ass.

How old are you?
Whats your IQ?
Is there something you dont know?

I'm 16. Seventeen in few months.
I can't solve Goldbach Conjecture. And 9x9 Rubik's cube.

Just kidding, by the way. And elephants are only mammals that can't jump.

Well, that was a fast reply.

I'm bored as hell, tell me something else interesting that will make you look smarter....

I look smart? I don't think so.
By the way, are you listening to rap? Westcoast and shits. Tupac, Snoop and Nate Dogg, you know.

Yeah, you seem pretty smart.

Anyway, yes, I do.
I listen to Tupac, Big L and Notorious BIG... (some of these dudes are not really Westcoast, but who cares)

What about you?

I listen to everything I like. I mostly like rap sound and g-funk. Relaxing rhythm, you know. Also, Amon Amarth is also cool.

Offtopic posting is also cool. Makes you look badass.
