subdivision surface does not work as in video
subdivision surface does not work as in video, need some help. using blender 2.9

crewJonathan Lampel (jlampel)Hi, nothing has changed about the subdiv modifier since the video came out, so I'm not sure how to help. Could you please post a screenshot of your result and explain how it's not working?
-
jlampel actually there has been a change (I think since 2.91), but it's rather hidden and not likely to be causing the problem in this case.
Indeed a screenshot would be helpful aalmo101 .

this is what i see.
i am at 3:50 in video & can't match what i see in it.
-
That is because you have Optimal Display turned on in the Modifier:
-
O.k., I just checked and in 2.80 (the Blender version used in the video), Optimal Display was un-checked by default. Now it is checked by default, so that is why the instructor didn't mention it in the video.
-
you would have to go and mention a little detail like that, wouldn't you?!?! :D
-
thank you for the assistance, much appreciated.
-
Jup such things should be worth a "Revision" intermission I believe.
There are quite a few subtle changes between 2.9 and 2.8. As examples, I can use loop selection with a pen and the emulated 3-Button-Mouse. Also, the modifier-options have now a different design, with the "Apply" button hidden beneath a drop-down menu etc.

Thanks for the help spikeyxxx

This was great to see right away.

Following the video with 2.91 and disabling Optimal Display shows the subdivision modifier working as in the video. Thanks to those who noted this!
