Thanks for the workaround, Philippe.
Ten years later and Adobe still hasn’t fixed this. Unbelievable.

Dan the man to the rescue, as usual. Thanks a lot.

[David Cabestany]

thanks but unfortunately no dice. it returned this error: “invalid or unexpected token”.

[David Cabestany]

This is brilliant man, thank you so much, I very much appreciate the time you took to make these.

[David Cabestany]

Thank you very much Kouraib, I’m Having a bit of a hard time trying to understand how it was on different coordinates given that it’s a symmetry object. I remember that yes, one side was not matching perfectly with the other when I created the symmetry but i was puzzled by it, I just move one of the points to make it match.

But thank you very much for helping me solve it, I truly appreciate it.

[David Cabestany]

Thanks so much, I just sent it.

[David Cabestany]

Sure, thanks! Is it ok if I send it to you privately via email?

[David Cabestany]

Hey Kouraib, thanks for this. Yes, I kept a hole at the end of the object but when adding the symmetry it had a hard edge which i was only able to remove with the connect object, but at the expense of the lens texture.

I seem to have found a solution following your advice on the comment below, but instead of removing welding or lowering the tolerance I changed the phong mode from “As Breaks” to “Average” unfortunately, I can’t test it on a render because since I upgraded to Sonoma (per’s Apple’s tech support instructions, trying to solve another issue) I can’t render with Redshift, anymore. there is a bug not yet fixed. But that is a story for another post.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

EDIT:
The RS renderer eventually loads and starts working, it just takes a while. After checking the new render I can say that switching the phong mode to Average solved the issue, thanks again!

[David Cabestany]

Figured as much, it was worth asking someone more knowledgeable.

Thanks Dan.

Hey Kouraib, thank you for the video, but yes, Tom is right, it needs to be animated, so I think it will use a boolean with a 2nd sweep that should build it fine.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply!
