After watching this tutorial you will learn the difference between sub-division and low poly modeling and tips for baking high to low detail. Maya will be used for this demo but the concepts and workflows discussed here can be applied to any 3D Software.

I will be covering how to prepare the high poly sub-d cyberpunk grenade as a low poly model over the next few videos. This first part is focused on understanding the difference between sub-d and low poly modeling.
