Increasing Curve Segments on a scaled oval circle
-
Hi Guys. I have spent hours trying to work this one out and I am officially stuck. I really do not want to redraw a bunch of stuff again. So here is my question.
I drew an oval by originally starting with a circle that I then stretched into an oval using the scale tool. When I went to render I was not happy with the curve so I went into "entity info" then segments. When I tried to input a greater number I was unable to change the info in the box.
Any Ideas would be most welcome

Change the circle's segments beforeyou modify its geometry.

Doh
I thought you were going to say that. Thanks for the quick response. Looks like I am redrawing the sections again (boo hoo)

Hi,
you can also use the ellipse.rb and set the precision

Is there a subdivision property in your render engine which smoothes the rendered mesh during export without changing the geometry itself?

Hi Kingsi, hi folks.
Maybe this SU file might give you ideas to simplify the task of recreating those ellipses.

Just found these replies from my earlier posting back in January. Sorry I did not see them and I apologise for not thanking you all.

future reference:
if you have BezierSpline installed:

it will smooth the oval out very nicely.
(default is 7 segments which will place 5 new vertices in between each existing vertex.. so, if you want to double the amount of segments, enter 3s for the precision.. 4s triples the segments etc)

~ no bump, but to Jeff, and Jean ~
great tips:
BZ- Convert to --> Catmull Spline
and
recreate ellipse with increased segments the easy JL way
