Noob question here,
I want to increase the poly count of my subtool. Currently at 4ook for this shape and Im not able add the detail I’d like.
When I cmd+D to subdivide my count shoots up to 1.6 mil. Is this because its subdividing each polygon and I’m just stuck with this large jump, or is there a way to increase it by a smaller amount, without going in and adding specific edge loops? I’m worried my total points is going to get bogged down if I always make these kind of jumps, but I don’t think I’m knowledgeable enough to add my own geometry manually. Thanks.
As an added question, I’m not sure I understand the difference between applying a dynamic subdivide versus just subdividing ( I mean the option just below the geometry tab, where you can increase the subdivides in increments). I read with latter you can hold onto your lower subdivisions, but aren’t you doing that with dynamic subdivide as well? So yeah, I don’t get it.
