This was a very helpful answer, thank you very much for taking the time to share this. Maya (2026). poly modelling with the end goal of ending up with sub-division ready model, so am working with maya's smooth preview to constantly preview the sub-divided model For Sub-D/poly-modelling I would normally use the relax…
What software and modelling methods are we talking? For Sub-D/poly-modelling I would normally use the relax function on a vertex selection and constrain it to the surface. Sometimes it's necessary to insert extra geometry to 'stabilize' the shading. For low poly modelling there's also the option of duplicating the mesh,…
