- I start by lowering the angle threshold (increasing polygons) until the highly curved areas around the object's silhouette look smooth enough for a detailed render.
- Then i use the "divide larger than" to refine the areas of low curvature.
- The first step will often give too much tesselation in thin, highly curved surfaces (such as fillets). So last thing i do is adjust the setting for "avoid smaller than". Thin round fillets require just 4-5 steps of tesselation to look smooth in a final render. anything more is a waste of polygons...
