Tron Light Cycle - Improved Smoothness
Description
Greetings programs! I got a bit personally offended at the model for being so cool but with noticeable poly's. This insult went deep, so deep in fact I learned how to use Blender just to fix it up a little. But seriously thanks so much to Imirnman for the awesome model! Many parts have improvements and I think I did pretty well with how pronounced the poly's were. NOTE: There are some that during the process had some wonky distortion but shouldn't effect it too much. Enjoy! Notice I did not do all the parts this was because it was a bit of a headache and these were the only parts I had the intention of printing myself. Now if you wanted to instead to print another piece that I did not edit myself do not fret! Blender is free! and while this was tough to figure out how to do using a new program the secret sause is the Edge Split and Smooth Corrective modifiers. They were the only two I used. I won't give a step-by-step but ill get you a headstart. 1_ press tab while the object is selected once in the alternate view (which will show the mesh) subdivide the model (I did it twice but you can do as many as your computer can handle but two is good enough) 2_ go to "face" by the top and select "tris to quads" then press tab again to go back to prev view 3_ in the modifiers tab on the right select both "Edge Split" and "Smooth Corrective" modifiers 4_ under the smooth corrective select both "pin boundaries" and "only smooth" 5_ now simply mess around with the "edge angle", "factor", and "repeat" scales until you are satisfied. (be warned going to crazy on bigger pieces might crash everything) 6_ now after you're done BE SURE TO -APPLY- YOUR MODIFICATIONS if you do not do this it won't export with your changes. There is a downward arrow in the modifications box to apply it. 7_ Optional (I did another pass at "tris to quads" to slim down the mesh) 8_ now export that baby as a .stl (ends up giving a step-by-step anyways) Now maybe there was a better way to do this I literally just gave myself a crash course so I'm pretty new at Blender I've only used AutoCAD in the past. I hope y'all are happy with what I could do, let me know if I broke anything on the printing end. End of line.
