Render quality - not smooth sometimes

Support Basics & Interface
1

Hello all.

On some of my images when I render, it shows the face on the rendered object. its not a smooth surface, and you can see the faces of the object.

Clicking subdivide & smoothing it alot just doesnt help

I have to be missing something, cuz when the light source is over what im rendering it makes the faces show up worse.

Hmm, anyone got any suggestions? (I have osa,8. and shadows turned on, on render screen)

thanks

are you sure you pushed “Set Smooth” ??

do that and make a new render…and do you render in a seperate window or in the 3D window ?? if the last, switch to seperare window with “DispWin” and not “DispView” in Display buttons (F10) down to the left :slight_smile:

and of course, before you do “Set smooth” you must select the mesh object also :smiley:

you should also know about the auto smooth button.
It’s on the f9 menu too, but above the set smooth button.
You can set it to smooth off faces with certain angles, so that if you want to try and smooth a cylinder, it will work properly.
If you don’t know what i mean, try making a cylinder and setting it smooth.
