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 smooth

If i smooth my poly...then accidentally delete the history...is there a way to get it back down to its base smooth?

Start again user added image

I don't think you can, but then again, I'm no expert. I make it a habit save my progress i.e. file01, file02 file03 etc My way of extra protection just in case I do something silly.

Cheers

Poly Smooth

If you haven't closed the file you could always CNTL+Z to undo your delete history, or you could try to add another smooth node (apply- polygons-smooth- again) to your model and then go the the channel box and access the smooth node and change the divisions back to "0" instead of 4 or what ever it is set at.

good luck
