@Dr-Sassi Thanks ever so much Dr Sassi,

Unfortunately there's much more to the full model (I just cut this one piece out to make it easier to show) otherwise I would have just modelled it. Fortunately I was eventually able to contact the creator and get a better version, phew! Thanks for the link about importing, I will give this a good read as I often get models and CAD files sent to me so this is an area I need to look into more

Kind Regards
David

@entry-newspaper Hi, thanks yes I eventually managed to get in touch with the creator who sent me a better version, thanks.

Kind Regards

Hello,

Someone has sent me a model that came from a CAD file. Unfortunately the geometry isn't smooth enough. In the piece of it I've posted, this part should be a smooth arc but you can see its clearly stepped. Is there a way I can smooth this out so it is nicely rounded without having to remodel it? Many thanks.

Kind Regards.

Hi Dr Sassi,

Thanks very much for this, the layers do exactly what I want I didn't know about layers before, I'll be making good use of these from now on

Hi

Is there a way to turn off multiple objects in a scene in one go? I have some products that are often rendered with and without associated accessories. I render out the scene with the full setup and then I create a render with the accessories hidden. When I want to render the product on its own I have to turn off all those little green lights on the objects I want to hide but sometime there can be quite a number. I've tried putting all the objects I want to hide in a null so I could just turn the green light off on that but it didn't work.

Kind regards
David

Hi Dr Sassi, yes thanks its resolved now.
The support team explained that the Maxon App uses a Lite installer and some of the kernels had not been installed. The solution was to uninstall Redshift and then re-install using the full manual download rather than Maxon App

Thanks Dr Sassi, I've submitted a ticket to support

Hello,

I've suddenly had this window pop up when I start up Cinema. What might have caused this? Cinema still seems to work fine and hasn't stopped me working.
