Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

poly to subdiv' problem

hi,

i've been away from my computer for a while (actually quite a good thing to do)
But now I'm back with questions user added image

when modeling I usually convert from polys to subd's. This goes back and forth a couple of times to add extra geometry in poly mode and so on.
Last time I converted back from subdiv's to polys added some geometry and then back to subdiv's. After I did that I noticed that some changes I made earlier had disappeared. Just subtleties, but still anoying.
The geometry I added was in a completely different part of my model then were my details disappeared, so I think that cannot be the reason.

Anyone any ideas why this happens?

thanks

I meant the changes I made in subd mode got erased or modified.

what I did was

subdiv - poly - subdiv
(tweak) (add geometry) (tweak disappeared or changed)

maybe this is clearer. So my problem was that the tweaks I made in the first place somehow got lost while converting to polys and back to subdiv.
