What dose View -> Low-Poly do?

[Kodra]

What does this option do, exactly? My mesh is imported from .fbx, and it shouldn't have a low poly version. However, this option makes it looks slightly different in 3DCoat:

Low-Poly off:

Low-Poly on:

The difference is very subtle but it's there. What does this option do? Does it generate a low-poly version (like auto-retopo) for my mesh? The mesh is already quite low-poly to begin with.

When you paint using Deep Displacement

View > Low poly switch from HighSubdivision Poly to base mesh LowPoly

It is only a display option, it change visualization nothing more

[Kodra]

But I don't use Deep Displacement. I simply imported my mesh (a fbx that I exported from Blender). The mesh is already quite low-poly. But turn on VIew -> Low-Poly still makes the 3DCoat viewport looks slightly different.

Its true, but its shading effect on viewport.

Geometry doesnt change.
