Edge loops smooth

Hey,

 

I have a question about adding edge loops:

When adding an edge loop maya just adds it without changing the shape of the mesh.

Now when I want to smooth my mesh the added edge loops make some areas that are supposed to have a smooth transition edgy.

 

Is there a tool so that I can adjust the added edges and vertices in a way so that they don't change the smoothed version of the mesh?

 

Depending on the mesh the adjustement of the added geometry by hand can be impossible or very difficult. At least when trying to achieve the same result as if I haven't added edge loops.

 

Thank You

Hi,

try to select the edge loop and apply "edit edges that respect surface curvature" it helps a lot when you have a bad topology, or you want the surface to be smooth. May be it will help you a little.
