The Plot Thickens!!!! I tried a brand new file and loaded in a suzanne monkey with some subdivision surface modifiers and smooth shading with a basic shader. and i also appended in the “ArkBasicShader”(a shader meant for “Ark Survival Evolved” and “Atlas” 3D assets) and through in a skeleton from ark and applied his textures. It actually works like it’s supposed to!!! I’m not sure what’s up with the course source file i used or if It was something i did to the file that i didnt realize mabe. not one bit of noise or pixelation! although i havent tried running cycles renderer yet with this file. What do you alll think!?
