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.

render view problem

Hello, I'm relatively new to maya and still learning. I'm having a problem rendering.

My cameraview looks like this:

and my render view looks like this:

how do I change my renderview to have the same nice subdivisions as the cameraview?

thanks

If you're using the Maya software renderer then that is normal because it doesn't support the smooth preview, however, Mental Ray does.

how can I change it to use mental ray? The 3 options I see are:

maya software
maya hardware
maya vector

maya hardware seems to render it smoothly but my shadows end up pixelated and boxy.
