pre and post mel render
set the divisions in poly smooth to '0' and smooth the object (nothing changes) to create a smooth node.
change channel names to 'short', so divisions will be 'dv' (correct mel code fordivisions)
render globals.., go to render options
pre-render mel; setAttr polySmooth1.dv 2
post render mel; setAttr polySmooth1.dv 0
so the pre script is .., set attribute of the polysmooth1 node divisions to 2
and the post script is .., set attribute of the polysmooth1 node divisions to 0
you can use this technique for anything at render, eg.., low res texture to high res

Have a look into the subdivision approximation editor, that pretty much does that for you. Might help you out.

you lost me???And yeah I agree with gster
i thought i was answering his question (and actually i already knew what divisions are
).., im still in maya software renderer.., it will be sometime before i get to mental ray..???? i already have referances for that and the approx editor was on the list.., with a heap of other stuff.i just dont like using the smooth node much in the view port (got phobic using it when i was doing the cartoon car) . i was referring and referencing a MEL script for steve to avoid using 'smooth' (but really it was all about MEEEEEEE
) .., nothing to do with rendering at all.., except about the smooth node and the viewport.., but all is good.., all is bliss.., all is 'supreme.., a love supreme.., supreme supreme., ect ect.., ' (sorry, got carried away and remembered an old Coltrane piece that was done by McLaughlin and Santana):blush:

the render is fine now, i deleted a dup i had forgot to delete.., well it needed to be deleted because it may .., well did have some effect on the render
the lighting is very un-natural.., on purpose to try and get highlights on the side so i could see them.
