QaDeS Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I'm having big time trouble when extruding a simple poly. It starts to look funny in the viewport when shaded, after a Smooth half of the mesh is missing. I've tried Extrude and PolyExtrude, reversed the point numbers by Point and by hand and even tried to prepend Divide, PolySplit and Facet, without any success. Environment: Linux, XFree 4, Houdini 5.5.230 Guess that's kind of a newbie question tho, but I just don't get it penguin.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stremik Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 In your Extrude OP check the Consolidate Faces to Mesh checkbox. Say, what are you after? I mean, maybe Subdevide OP would suit you better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QaDeS Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Thanks for the quick answer, I appreciate it. But, well...it doesn't really look better Guess it's some trouble with my OS installation (SuSE 7.2) / graphics driver (latest NVidia one)? After posting my question I downloaded this great "vines" example by Sean Lewkiw. After loading in Houdini, I saw one frame, moving the frame-bar didn't have any effect. After restarting Houdini I couldn't get the example to screen any more In Houdini 6, on the other hand, I will get some errors about a "ShaderSwitcher" with the same result. Therefore my .hip looks a bit better, the shading doesn't fit to the normals tho. Please, I need some feedback on if this thing looks normal on your installations. If so, I think I'll have me a new workstation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs00bren Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 i looked at your file and can't really see anything wrong in the view port. is the problem when you render or the view port. cheers bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QaDeS Posted March 16, 2003 Author Share Posted March 16, 2003 It's in both! At least when i use the quick render button. Well...time for a new machine. This one sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
