Smoothing

Support Basics & Interface

I got me a quarter of a sphere and I want it smmoth, except the problem is that when I hit “set smooth” it isn’t smooth enough, and when I hit “subsurf” it mess up the mesh. What do I do to make it smoother?

Edit mode, W, Subdivide Smooth.

Nope, that mess’ up the mesh too.

Perhaps you should use the knife tool:
In edit mode, press K -> face loop cut.

Or with subsurf on you could crease the outter edges so they aren’t curved. But then you’d have to set it to auto smooth or you might get a dark area around the creased edges. But it depends.

Subsurf -> Editmode -> Shift+E?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try them out as soon as I can. I will post back a little bit later.
