Poser and C4D Mesh ‘resolution’ Byörk/Cunningham style naked body
Hi I am trying to create shots using extreme close ups of a naked woman’s contours, she will have a porcelain style texture to her skin – resembling the white on byork’s robot video by chris cunningham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA.
So this texture will have an .exr environment on it.
So far I have exported the hi res ‘jessica’ model from poser and an obj file, rescaled in c4d and added my texture – the problem is the extreme close ups clearly discern the ‘mesh’ polygons, I really need this to be smooth!
I tried using hypernurbs (of which i dont know much about) and on the highest catmull ngon setting of 6 it wasn’t enough. I then tried nesting this hypernurbs within another hypernurbs – this is a render killer.
Is there a trick I’m missing? e.g. can I export from poser in a higher res manner or is there perhaps a render setting in c4d to interpret the flat polys more smoothly?
Thanks in advance for any help!

There is no way you should need such high mesh resolution (even one HN set to 6 would be total overkill). Does your object have a phong tag? If not, that’s your problem. If so, try adusting the settings (set angle to 60 or above).

Thanks Adam
Good to know what the phong tag does – guess thats pretty basic but this is what happens when you teach yourself!
