how to remove the too perfect look

[Kevin Laffey]

hi. is there a modifier, script, plugin, shader etc. available that will modify the edges of my model to remove the unrealistic look of perfectly straight sharp edges? i've searched a number of forums and script/plugin sites but found nothing that does what i need. thanks.

if you use the MIA materials, just click on rounded corners (under AO)...should work. There used to be a chamfered edge script back in v5 or so, but i have no idea if anyone packed it for the newer releases. You can also chamfer your edges on the model itself.

Take a look at Neil Blevin's site...

I've used this one with a great deal of success:
EdgeChEx.dlm

Information:
This plugin allows to create chamfer (simple and advanced) selected edges and extrude new polygons after chamfer.

You can use a noise modifier or displacement in 3dsMax...
