Round Tool settings

Post by mgiambrone43 » Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:51 pm

I have been trying to make sure that any new models I make have rounded edges.

I have been using Fredo's Rounding tool plugin.

1. I have been using 1/16" and I was wondering what setting is more believeable.
I had done a rendering of some building blocks and applied a 1/16" rounding to them, but one of the critiques was the blocks were still too sharp.

I don't want to make a table edge or wall edge too round nor do I want to have it too sharp as it is by default.

2. I also noticed that double clicking on the any edge causes a face to be applied over previously pushed in surfaces, i.e., offset, push pull inward.

3. Seems all texturing should be done prior to applying the rounding.

Any advice is, as always, greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

fredo's round corner is the best. A simple bevel can be quite realistic, from the right distance.
