Figure 7-15: An Editable Poly object with the TurboSmooth
modifier
By default, Iterations is set to 1.0. The great thing about
TurboSmooth is that you can really up the iteration level with-
out slowing down your viewport. In the past, keeping your
iteration level at 3 or 4 would really hit your video card pretty
hard. But with the new TurboSmooth, you can work very
quickly, even at high iteration levels. However, don't go crazy
and crank it up to 50. You absolutely can bog your system
down to waiting minutes for Max to come back from its
calculations.
After applying TurboSmooth, go back down your stack and
highlight Editable Poly.
Notice that your object pops back to its original shape
before the TurboSmooth operation. That's because you are
viewing that part of the stack. If you want to view the top
result of your stack, even while working at the bottom of the
stack, press the Show End Result button.
