subd's compared to poly smooth proxy

[SheepFactory]

by using smooth proxy you can turn on off the smooth geometry any time you want therefore speeding up the display , its updates faster too.

Once you are happy , you can convert your low poly to sub-d and continue from there and take advantage of the sub-d features such as creasing , etc.

I tend to start with smooth proxy cause , sub-d's tend to get slow faster the more details you add , especially creasing. After you crease an edge and go back to poly mode it takes forever to update.

hope this helps
