And here we go, we've got our little cross. So one thing we can do in sop level is I could make a subdivide. So I'm going to do tab, subdivide, and I'm going to lay this under the null. And there we go. So here we see the subdivided geometry. And then I can change the depth of that. And then I'll change between Houdini and Mantra and open subdiv, subdivision algorithms. So this is a great way to be able to preview things while you're working to ensure good subdivision at render time. Where you might need to subdivide a model and do some other modeling techniques on it. It's like, okay this looks good, this is what I want.
