Hi Dr. Sassi,

thanks again for this crucial advice - that does the trick! I learned a lot from the Hands-on-Maxon Videos ... I love them! But every time I think I understood, there's one little detail depending on model or other circumstances etc. and there are so much options and dependencies in C4D ... it's still overwhelming in its possibilities.

How ever, thank you very much and sunny regards, Tom

Hey everybody,

I wonder how I can smooth out a mesh deformed via joints. I wanna get rid of the "edges"/"ripples" where the joints are (s. Screenshot).

The file is available under the following link:

The aim is to get a complete smooth and round surface on the outside.

Thanks in advance and sunny regards, Tom

P.S: @Dr. Sassi: if you see this post you may remember this model from a long time ago . As you recommend, I rebuild it and manually weighted the mesh.
