I've been working on blendigo making it work nicer on mac os x. In doing so I would like to demonstrate my elite blender skills...

Ben, you really need to get yourself a licensed copy of Indigo !

I'm only using it for personal renders and don't mind the resolution limit so it's okay for me.
If I ever start rendering suzanne for clients I'll definitely buy a licence.

The subsurf recommendation was wesome - go go modifiers. Is there any way to make the normals better around suzannes eyes?

Depends on what you're thinking of when saying "better". 
Entering Editmode, selecting all Faces and hitting Ctrl+N to recalculate all normals outside should fix all problems.
If I ever need some suzanne-renders I call you.

I'm repeating myself every there and now, but Indigo own subdivisions (=subsurf) are greatbenn wrote:The subsurf recommendation was wesome - go go modifiers. Is there any way to make the normals better around suzannes eyes?
I suppose you can trig them by using a small black disp map.Re: I know Blender

Suzanne is not a continuous mesh, the eyes are separated from the rest of the head.

I see, pardon my ignorance... but nothing prevents you to apply the same subdivision level for the eyes, is it ? I tested that and continuity is pretty well preserved between two smoothed, adjacent surfaces; maybe you want to scale the eyes up a bit to seal the volume...
[later]... For suzanne here's how I did:
- close each eye's volume
- make all edges soft (or faces will be exploded)
- add indigo subdivisions (6, with a pixel threshold of 1 for a closeup shot @640x480).
The result is artefacts free. Around 2M polys, against 4M if it was not a view dependent smoothing.

Yeah, it's much easier just to manually fix the eyes- vertice by vertice.

Maybe that's because Indigo evolved since then, but in my case there is no dark circling anymore, unlike in the last pic from that linked thread.

ctzn could you attach the last renders .blend to this thread?
