DESCRIPTION
The OsdPolySmooth node takes a base mesh and generates an OpenSubdiv subdivided mesh.
Note:
This plugin is not representative of actual workflows in the application. The
intended use is for quick comparisons with Renderman's interpolation settings.
Usage
- Once the plugin is loaded in Maya:
- Select a poly mesh
- Polygons -> Edit Mesh -> OSD Subdivide Meshes
