phong shading angle settings?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

What do you mean? What are you trying to do? Where did you hear about this?

We need more information.

If you're coming from C4D, I think what you're looking for is soften/harden edges.

I'm not the right person to explain it, but I think the more universal term is adjusting the normals, which maya does by harden soften edge, or changing the normal angle. And C4D does by changing the phong shading angle.
