Does the number of SudD affect how smooth your Normal / Bump maps is generated from mudbox? As I don't have a powerful system, I can only subD till 4 or 5 for a full LowRes character model. When I export out the maps, I notice that I can see the polygon shapes especially for normal maps where you can't touch up in photoshop. ( or can you? )
