I tried applying a boolean modifier so I could make some holes inside a mesh, but the result was horrible shading. I've tried smooth lighting and an edge split modifier with sharp edges, but still nothing so far. I even added a new knife cut near the ends so it wouldn't be as noticeable. It's really bugging me, please help! Split concave edges just made a bunch of triangles with even worse shading. Boolean shading problemBoolean shading problem 2Edit mode

  • $\begingroup$ That first link was pretty useful, but still doesn't solve my problem, as I already used the edge split modifier, and I can't make a triangle fan out of my cylinder. Also I didn't use the subsurface modifier $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ try auto smooth in the vertex tab $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ A picture of the wireframe, or sample file will shed more light. One fears the boolean modifier may have naffed up your topology. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Dan Manually modelling it with proper topology. Have you checked the link? There even a specific example exactly for this case $\endgroup$

Try selecting your entire mesh in edit mode and hit [ctrl + n] to recalculate normals. This should fix the shading..
