7. Some areas may have noticeable polygon faceting. In Figure 5-35 you can see this faceting on the pec-
toral muscles. I need to add some more detail to this area to suggest striations in the muscles that fan from
the sternum to the lower arms. Using the same technique of direct sampling, I paint these details in. I also
stroke lighter marks across the muscles of the arm to suggest a bit more texture in this area.
8. You can also use the Blur brush to smooth out polygon faceting. Set the Blur brush strength to 50%
and touch the areas of faceting. Very little application is needed to render these artifacts invisible ( Figure
5-36 ) .
Figure 5-35: The chest is given more detail in the pectoral region by painting in muscle striations and
areas of light and shadow.
