The following updates improve the results of chamfer operations:
- When performing a chamfer operation with the
Chamfer modifier or an
Editable Poly object, the
Limit Effect output has been updated to prevent self intersections in chamfered surfaces. See
Chamfer Modifier Reference
- Hard edges can appear on chamfer segments and cannot be corrected with the Smoothing parameter in the
Chamfer modifier. The
Chamfer modifier now generates improved surface normals when working with non-explicit normals, solving this problem.
Tip: You can use the command
$.modifiers[N].SetVersion #VerLatest to update
Chamfer modifiers that were applied in previous versions of 3ds Max, so they use the new functionality.
