Slide 13: Optimizing the Scene
Optimizing the Scene In order to get rid of node/ groups transformations, the scene should be optimized for further work, like restructuring the hirachy. • Therefore select the Node that needs to be optimized • go to Scene > Optimize • Select the needed Flush options and press „Optimize“. • Note: Th
Slide 14: Correcting Normals
Correcting Normals Enable Vertex/ Face Normal Rendering mode under Main Menu >Visualization. Flip Normals by using the following mouse shortcuts to turn (flip) the normals of a selected object inward or outward. ALT-left button Flip whole shell ALT-middle button Flip selected patches only ALT-right
Slide 15: Ambient Occlusion and Shadow Baking
Ambient Occlusion and Shadow Baking Ambient Occlusion simulates soft global illumination by computing shadows resulting from light coming from all directions 1.Click Scene > Bake Light and Shadows. 2.Adjust settings in the Ambient Occlusion dialog box. 3. Select the object 4.Click on Calculate all (

Slide 29: Vsets
Vsets Use variant sets, or Vsets, to define multiple states for different properties at same time. In many cases, a variant alone is not enough for managing complex models; for example, where many different switch nodes are needed to represent a specific version of the loaded model. Variant Sets pro
