Subdivision : re-calculating vertices position ???

[madcoo]

Hi all!


I've got what may seem a stupid question...

When I subdivide a mesh, all it does is add more vertices to it.
So far so good, you may say...

But let's say I've created a bowl, made from a sphere cut in two halves.
At this point, I notice that it's still not round and smooth enough (Fig.1 below represents a detail of the mesh)

=> If I subdivide it, I'll certainly get more vertices, but it won't make it any smoother. (Fig.2 - new vertices represented in green)

Is there an option to have Blender re-calculate the position of the new vertices so I can get a smoother mesh - as shown in Fig.3?
(without of course re-subsurfing the whole thing)

Thanks guys!


Sorry for the poor quality of the image, but I'm at work, so I had to do it with MS Paint...

Indigo is able to do that.

just enable subdivision smoothing. not sure if blendigo supports it....

To answer you question, the modifier is subsurf. Crease value is located in transform properties shortcut "n" and edit mode. It allows you to play with your edge

edit:Blendigo supports subdivision smoothing doesn't uses crease value...

Thanks, I'll try that as soon as I'm at home!

(my current job's driving me mad - I feel much better in front of my Blendigo screen!)

Do I have to play with the value of "subdivision smoothing"?
(if I remember well you can set values from 1 to 20)

indigo subdivision is broken now. I'm working on it. in the next days you'll get a working version.
