What is the difference between Edit Poly object versus Edit poly modifier
What is the difference between Edit Poly object versus Edit poly modifier
I am wondering what gives here. doing some research on 'how to activate Nurms' i came across the fix. When using NURMS you need to have an edit poly object in order for NURMS to be active. I did not realize that there is a difference from the Edit poly from the modifier list versus right clicking the object and getting edit poly from the transform quad.
What is the difference between Edit Poly object versus Edit poly modifier? i honestly though they were the same.
The key word is "Modifier". Having nearly all of the edit poly features in a modifier allows you to work non-destructively by placing an edit poly modifier on the stack and then making any changes you want to the mesh which can later be "turned off" or reversed just be clicking on the little eye ball. You can stack edit poly modifier on top of edit poly modifier making different changes to explore different possibilities in creating a model and selectively turn them on and off. You can rename each EP Modifier to organize and label the changes (Right click on the modier and select "Rename". Using Edit poly modifier (or edit mesh modifier) is a big advantage of Max in nondestructive workflow.
In terms of specific functional differences between the 2 see below link:
