Edge Weighting in Hex2? - Polyloop

JeffrySG · 30th April 2006, 22:29

I see that Hex2 has a chamfer settings, but does it have edge weighting settings for a specific edges? Beyone the typical Hard Edge or Soft Edge? I couldn't find anything in the PDF manual at all regarding this.

Thanks for any help! Cheers!

I thought HEX 2 was going to have a crease edges tool?

Hi
Well i must say both: nope and yes

At a time , selecting edges you wanted to crease before to smooth was a way to crease..but I guess ,regarding displacement computing or else (I'm not from the team) this way of doing was wrong and it doesn't exist anymore when you smooth with page up/down

And yes ,because you can still do this way ,with the regular smooth tool (by the surface modeling tools /smooth ) but the thing is not very handy for now (almost in the case where you want to use many subd levels..imho)

Ouch. Edge weighting seems like the sole glaring omission to me. Some other things might be nice as well, but that one's the potential showstopper (i.e., reach for a different app). I've missed it in Hex 1.x and really expected to see it in 2.0. Using the Smooth mechanism would be okay if it didn't have to generate about 2 million faces just to harden a handful of edges. Maybe something can be done for 2.1 or 2.2.

There is an example video on the Eovia website showing crease/smooth in action, there is crease option in the Smooth tool properties
