In these images: https://prnt.sc/gquo49 , https://prnt.sc/gquoga i show what happens to the geometry of my model when i hit “lower res” and “higher res”.
Although I have no Subdivision steps in the geometry when i hit higher res the geometry seems smoother. What happens?
Does it smooth normals or subdivide the geomtry or something else?
If you press those buttons when you haven’t divided the mesh you activate Dynamic Subdivision. You can read about it here:
