 This setting was used for the logs and the landscape in the "early man" segment of Pangolin's demo "Revelation". These were small, highly detailed mesh objects. This setting was used for the logs and the landscape in the "early man" segment of Pangolin's demo "Revelation".

 **What is set**: Sets line type for **Folds, Creases** and **Intersections with others**. Sets filter for fairly moderate parameters including a 0.5 beam diameter overlap. Sets point spacing to handle a variety of conditions including some sharp angles and some curvature variation. **What is set**: Sets line type for **Folds, Creases** and **Intersections with others**.

-This should work fairly well for splines. There is more information in the [[tools:lcmax:tips_using_renderable_splines|Using renderable splines]] help file topic.+This should work fairly well for splines((A **spline** is defined as: "A mathematical interpolation routine for describing curves or surfaces. More precisely, a sequence of curves, usually cubic polynomials, joined to ensure C(2) continuity. This term is sometimes loosely applied to any set of cubic curves." \\ \\ A **spline model** is defined as: "Representing 3-D objects as surfaces made up of mathematically derived curves (splines)." \\ \\ In 3ds Max, splines can be used to control camera paths and to control object manipulations. In addition, splines can be made renderable and therefore can produce a visible outline.)).

 **What is set**: Sets line type to **Silhouette** and **Transparent**. Sets filter for best operation with splines. Sets point spacing for a good mix between straight line and curved densities. However, no corners are detected in this mode. **What is set**: Sets line type to **Silhouette** and **Transparent**. Sets filter for best operation with splines.
