Hi Jack,

The reason the ball does not look perfectly round when zoomed in is because it is a relatively low resolution model made up of only 528 polygons or "Faces". Each model has a "Face Count" and the higher the face count, the bigger impact it has on your computer.

So in a scene where you would have many models, having them all with a high face count would cause your computer to slow down dramatically. Because the 3D Blocks are designed to be used in large numbers to build many different types of objects such as buildings, furniture etc the face count is kept deliberately low.

If you wanted to use a high resolution sphere in your scene with a higher face count, say 6000, you could import one in via 3DXchange for example and this would look better in extreme close ups. You can use the existing 3D Block ball for longer shots.

From iClone program select:
Set > Props > 3d Blocks > Select: Ball_001

If you 'Zoom' to the Ball you will notice the 'Ball' does not show in full circle; look like circle made of several small line. Also under 'Preview' you do not see it as full circle?
Do you know how to fix it? How could I create full circle?

Thank you for your help
Jack
