Odd results from Soap Skin Bubble

Tobobo

Hi Everybody

I've been getting odd spikes when I use SSB (image below). The near line is one entity and the far one is broken but same results.

Any ideas?

Post an example of your skp object!

What sort of scale are you working on? Ive known SSB to do weird things at small scales...

Tobobo

I'm drawing in mm but the units are in m

I'll post the model tomorrow when I get back to work

I'm using it to model a seat

till tomorrow........

EDIT: here is the file

Seat Test.skp

I would like to try SSB to mimic the issue.....but it has expired again... Extremely annoying

@Kwist

Thanks frenchy...I will have to do that. (I vote for lifting the time constraint though)

I got the same thing. Spikes along the edges of a model. To fix, I just moved vertices to the proxy outline. Of course, the oddity shouldn't happen at all, but may be something in the newest version. Oct. 10, 2009.

edited, wrong addressee.

I have been correcting it myself but I can't get the smoothness that matches the rest of the skin

Ahhhhhhhh yes this one
But seems more useful if it's the file before the soap!

Tobobo

I've scaled the model up to mm and it seems to be ok, maybe i was working too small

to approximate the smoothness, draw a segment across the depression, use move tool with alt key to position the vertex visually on the added segment.
hope this helps

Tobobo

Thanks I'll try that.

It doesn't happen so much working in mm as it did working in m but it still happens. Odd?

pilou

Can you post the model before Soaping?

Tobobo

Sorry for the delay been really stacked at work

Before SSB.skp

pilou

I have not your artifacts because I have taken less subdivisions like you
The only problem is that you must make all the volume in a one big soap surface else you can't have continuity! Or make no pressure!

Thank you Pilou.

It is a complex shape and to get the curves and presures you need to divide it up. maybe I should invest in Sub/smooth.
