Smooth by Angle

Question

When trying to smooth the bool punches, at about 17 mins into the video. My smooth by angle doesn't seem to have any effect on them unless I activate Ignore Sharpness. Will this cause me any issues down the line?

Hi SStoic ,

Well, there might be something along the way, that you did differently, but when enabling 'Ignore Sharpness' solves it, then you don't have to be afraid that it will cause any issues further along. It's just about how things are Shaded.

Don't feel bad for just clicking a couple of check boxes and hoping something works and then when it works, having no idea why it works, only that you solved your problem. Even master Blender nerds do it that way and they're just happy their issue went away.

And sometimes, even if it doesn't give you the look you're looking for now, doing so will show you something you'll remember in a later project that will be useful.
