  Phong Shading

  Posted by Stephen Turcotte on January 20, 2016 at 1:59 am

  I have a box that I’m modeling, but seem to be getting strange phong shading that I can’t get rid of. Does anyone have guidance on what should be done here?

  Here’s a scene file if that helps.

  assuming you want a flat bottom (like it is) cut the Phong Angle back to under 50°

  Thanks Brian. I was going more for something like this with a nice curve into the bottom:

  I ended up getting better results bringing my Loft ‘Mesh Subdivision U’ levels down to a minimum and adding a hypernurb to smooth it all out.
