# MultiresModifier(Modifier)

base classes — `bpy_struct`, `Modifier`

class `bpy.types.``MultiresModifier`(Modifier)

  Multiresolution mesh modifier

  `filepath`

    Path to external displacements file

    Type: | string, default “”, (never None)

  `is_external`

    Store multires displacements outside the .blend file, to save memory

    Type: | boolean, default False, (readonly)

  `levels`

    Number of subdivisions to use in the viewport

    Type: | int in [0, 255], default 0

  `quality`

    Accuracy of vertex positions, lower value is faster but less precise

    Type: | int in [1, 10], default 0

  `render_levels`

    The subdivision level visible at render time

    Type: | int in [0, 255], default 0

  `sculpt_levels`

    Number of subdivisions to use in sculpt mode

    Type: | int in [0, 255], default 0

  `show_only_control_edges`

    Skip drawing/rendering of interior subdivided edges

    Type: | boolean, default False

  `subdivision_type`

    Select type of subdivision algorithm

    Type: | enum in [‘CATMULL_CLARK’, ‘SIMPLE’], default ‘CATMULL_CLARK’

  `total_levels`

    Number of subdivisions for which displacements are stored

    Type: | int in [0, 255], default 0, (readonly)

  `use_creases`

    Use mesh edge crease information to sharpen edges

    Type: | boolean, default False

  `uv_smooth`

    Controls how smoothing is applied to UVs

    - `NONE` Sharp, UVs are not smoothed, boundaries are kept sharp.
    - `PRESERVE_CORNERS` Smooth, keep corners, UVs are smoothed, corners on discontinuous boundary are kept sharp.

    Type: | enum in [‘NONE’, ‘PRESERVE_CORNERS’], default ‘NONE’

  classmethod `bl_rna_get_subclass`(id, default=None)

    Parameters: | id (string) – The RNA type identifier.
    Returns: | The RNA type or default when not found.
    Return type: | `bpy.types.Struct` subclass

  classmethod `bl_rna_get_subclass_py`(id, default=None)

    Parameters: | id (string) – The RNA type identifier.
    Returns: | The class or default when not found.
    Return type: | type
