Question on Subd/rigging // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by jamesmc // May 2, 2006, 7:03am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Is it wise to subdivide an object after it is rigged with a skeleton? example: I have an object that is low poly count. I rigged it up because it is easier to see the placement of the bones. Can I subdivide the object later because I want smoother appearance? Post by frank // May 2, 2006, 7:50am frank Total Posts: 709 I do the animating with SDS disabled. I then add it right before rendering. Exceptions would be where I need to see how the subdivided mesh interacts with other objects (a hand holding an object, for instance) or if I'm animating a face with bones. This is in MotionStudio but I would say the same thing can be done with native bones / Puppeteer. Post by jamesmc // May 2, 2006, 8:01am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Cool! Thanks Frank! I was hoping I wasn't destined to the land of boxy, low poly models. :) I imported a Poser model, rigged it up and boy was it hard! I couldn't even see the bones or the joints. I used eyezoom so much that I forgot what the model looked like. :D Post by frank // May 2, 2006, 8:29am frank Total Posts: 709 I imported a Poser model, rigged it up and boy was it hard!

Maybe giving it a color that contrasts from the bone color would help.
