Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi,

I modeled a wine glass for another forum and wonder why the glass is not as smooth as expected. I used subdivision up to 6 but didn't get a smooth result. Any ideas what I am doing wrong in this case?
Thanky for your help!

You could smooth it with increasing segments of the circle you used for path. Thats the modeling solution, I am not sure how to do it with just indigo. Hope I helped a lil bit

You could also try modelling the wine glass with quads. Should help.

I don't think SkIndigo exports quads unfortunately

To go a bit into details about the issue with triangles here, is that some vertices have 4 incoming edges when others got 8. This creates a tension you will not get rid of without editing the geometry.

It could be triangles if all diagonals had the same direction.

There are some possibilities, but I used Artisan for subdivision and therefore have no influence on the triangles (maybe Whaat have an idea?!)

I tried some different subdivisions but until now I was not able to pruduce an equal-incoming-edges version (e.g. 6/4 edges): I wonder why I didn't noticed this problem before...

New version with quad mesh...
Thank you for the helpful hints!

Sweet render!
To the gallery pls!

Thank you! I will let it cook another night and will upload it nearly without fireflies

Thirst for more ...

Wow! Nice!

Maybe just some bubbles missing? Instancing lots of spheres should not make the scene too heavy

I will have a look at this. How do I add bubbles? Only little spheres in the beer or do they need a special material, normal direction, ...?

It's Friday, so I suggest:

1. Get a beer
2. Look at bubbles while drinking beer
3. Go home (carefully if you've "studied" a few)
4. Model bubbles

Ehy Cotty! How did you solve the tri-mesh issue? How did you model that glass, in the end?
