Been contuning to work on this bmw wheel and though I would post an updated image. I starte the first post in the Tech area. It still needs some more fine tuning to get out some kinks, but I learning a lot about working with ts6.6 as most of modeling (90%) was done on model side of ts 761 (which is really ts6.6).

Nice work....

I agree. A very nice job.

I see something odd that the surfaces are not smooth enought. The arrows are pointing at it.

I have had the same problem a time ago (if it's a problem ) and couldn't solve it.

Do you have any suggestion?

very nice fahembree.
Looking forward to seeing this model progress.
Keep up the great work!

What you are describing is possibly a result of non-quad geometry creating rendering artifacts in the area affected. If you go to http://www.guerillacg.com/ they have a series of tutorials on cg basic that help a great deal. Included in one of them, I don't remember which one exactly, is a demonstration of the effects of non-quad geometry and some ideas of how to repair it.

I agree. A very nice job.
I see something odd that the surfaces are not smooth enough. The arrows are pointing at it.

Yes , this is one area that needs some work. I think I jsut need to add some more edges. Attached is wire view.

Attached is an updated image with the bad areas cleaned up a little. Also attached is image showing how I reworked the area. I could eleminate a few more of the triangles in this area, but this look much better to me.

Very nice job!!!

Thank you for the wire view. I have learned a lot of this wire view.

Coming along reay nicely.

Yes it is better now. Use SDS need to avoid too many edges converging to the same point. Even if there is only quad.

Great stuff, I love high poly models like this and seeing how different folk sort their quads out. Keep up the good work.

Perfect! Great work, I had following you since the Tech Forum! Also I liked how you arranged the edges, vertices, etc... I still don't know this area.
