If you’re going to cheat with Turbosmooth…
At least do it properly. I’ve seen a few people over the last couple of months just plain using it wrong and having their computers crash, lag, and run off to join the revolution as a result. We can do better than that!
In this video I’ll show you what Turbosmooth does, how you lag your computer in under five seconds (possibly without a demonstration dependent on video quality), and how to get the same results without making your workstation freeze every time you click a button. Please note, I don’t suggest using Turbosmooth for everything and its far from being a miracle modifier, but for quick, dirty and easy smoothing there’s a lot to be said for it.
How to Cheat Turbosmooth Effectively from Heather Craik on Vimeo.
Recap:
When using Turbosmooth as a quick and easy smoothing option for high detail keep the following in mind:
- Ramping up the number of iterations will slow your computer down to the point of being unmanageable.
- You can achieve the same effect by adding the iterations at render time.
- It’s still cheating! (But in a smarter way)
Hope this has helped someone, have fun playing with 3D! If it’s been useful don’t forget to comment below and let me know (or even if it hasn’t for that matter).

Hi Heather! Just wanted to say hi, that’s all. Nothing in my life ever goes smooth but it knows turbo most of the time. jus sayin..

Haha, yea it’s just the name of a modifier in 3Ds Max. Liking the analogy though
Top work Heather, videos are going to transform this site for sure, very clear voice, lovely to listen to, even if I have no idea what you are talking about ha ha
Thanks James
There’s been a few up now.. getting some positive feedback from the other 3D students in class. Glad you enjoyed (even if I confused you)
I didn’t watch the video, but I do show up to read your copy.
Run off to join the revolution, indeed.
