Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

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
