Smoothing models and adding detail

…Now, we've taken a look at…subdivision surfaces, and automatic smoothing of models.…But you also can purposely smooth models as well.…In other words, you can bake in the…smoothing to a model, and just add more detail.…So, let's go ahead and do that with our coffee cup.…As you can see, we've got some detail around the top but…we really, maybe need some more detail around the handle and so on.…But, if I were to say, for example, hit three, you could…see that well, this coffee cup smooths pretty well for a subdivision surface.…

But let's say I wanted to use it in…a context where I don't want to subdivide it.…So, we can actually smooth the object and…actually force the smoothing and add more detail.…We can do that under the Mesh menu.…We have an option here called Smooth.…So, if I select the parameters for that, this will tell me how many division…levels to use, as well as what type of smoothing to use.…Now, typically I want to just keep this at one, maybe two.…

As you get further up, you're going to geometrically…
