Rhino Edge Softening doesn't show up anymore in the render

[yusufcankat_donmez]

Hi, I use rhino's edge softening tool, (not fillet edge command, the one in the UI to set all edges of an objects). This used to work just fine for a long time but I realized that it is not working anymore for 2 weeks maybe. I tried to understand what can be the cause or if there is a solution on the internet but couldn't find something. Are there any suggestions?

I use Rhino 7 / 8 WIP&BETA version and up to date v-ray version on windows 10.

Hello yusufcankat_donmez,

We are aware of the issue with Edge Softening in Rhino 8, please refer to this forum post. I have also linked your post to the internal issue VRW-4000 and will notify you once it is fixed.

Quick workaround: _ExtractRenderMesh and temporary use this instead the NURBS for rendering.

I tried this one already but didn't work either.

Strange, it should work - see here:

Hello mackl,
The issue with Rhino Edge Softening was resolved in 6.20.00 V-Ray build. If you are using earlier version please update to the latest one (you can download it here).

Thank you, I am using 6.20.03 with latest RH 8 SR7 installation. As soon as I use edge softening, I can't move this object and render on new position. They always stay on untouched. Without edge softening, everything runs normally, but without desired render effect.

Best regards

Marcel
