Hi,

I saw this advert on TV ages ago, I think most of you may have seen it, for some company saying that things get better when you say yes. However, there's always an exception that proves the point and I think this is the case:


I was making a model in 10 seconds coz I was bored in 3DS Max, when I decided to try a meshsmooth with 10 iterations. So I saw the message and just pressed yes... quite a big mistake as my computer kinda went bang... message I got is here:

Blimey, hmmm that must be pretty slow to run too (Mind you it was 500,000 polies), Hexagon starts being a pain at 7 iterations on an average model, of course, I could have exported it, re imported it and try 7 iterations on that model, might be a wee bit slow I say.
