I tried to get clever with Maya once, a couple months back; I smoothed my model, sculpted some of the geometry, then using the smooth's construction history to reset the divisions back to "1"...however, from that point on, the Sculpt Geometry tool never had any effect on my model, either the unsmoothed version of the model, nor after smoothing it again.
But at least one "pro" is that Maya did calculate the changes that I made on the smoothed model, and adjused the position of my vertices on the low-res model; that goes to show that my plan half-worked :p

I really looks like texturing will be the theme for the second part.Originally posted by Weyu:
Will the next part have a new theme or will it be a different "challenge" (Like texturing for example.)

Texturing does have something to do with Part Two.

Mike - Before I start modeling, could you hint to the next part? Just that if its for some sort of animation then I would have to model for that, rarther than for a still.

...now I'm going to take a guess...Originally posted by mtmckinley
5) Be prepared to save your final entry as an .OBJ!
In part 2, we'll trade our models off to another competitor, and we'll be texturing eachother's models?
