Smoothness question

[Maciej]

Gentlemen,

See attached file - a car, imported from the web, created from 3d faces.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no smoothness there. 

Any idea how to make it soft and nice? I mean just the body, tires & glass layers

Otherwise, the car looks pretty from far, but, unfortunately, far from pretty if one come closer... :)

As I am an architect, I belive in right angles and stright lines. Therefore I do not work a lot with stuff like nurbs or surfaces, so any help appreciated...  :)

This is rather AutoCAD issue, but maybe you will find a solution which could be good for us, nXt-renderers..

Convert to AutoCad 2007 or 2012 and I can help, meanwhile try this.

Akinlolu, file attached.

BTW - which of those parameters should be increased or decreased?

Thanks in advance.

Use the values in the above image.

Drawing keeps crashing as soon as I load nxt. There seems to be an offending layer or material attached to the car.

Try that Maciej, 5 minutes of sewing it up. :)

George - thank you very much! How did you achieve such an awesome effect??

Looks gorgeous, indeed..

What do you mean Maciej, which effect exactly? The only thing I did was to use Tailors add-on routine (http://www.polyface.de/) for sewing 3d faces into polyface mesh. I think nXt is smoothing this type of 3D entities automatically so I just hit the Render button then and voilà...  Furthermore, another nice car model (EVO 7, war machine that sucks kids and kites, as Jeremy Clarkson stated once :D) was added to my personal collection, with your kind permission, of course ;) Thank you in advance.
