What is “multires?”

2

I believe its 3ds max’s version of subsurfaces. I could be wrong though.

Multires is a way of treating a mesh as though it is subdivided at a higher or lower resolution depending on your needs. I think it’s mostly useful for doing displacement painting (sculpt mode) as if your mesh was more highly subdivided than it really is. It’s being developed alongside sculpt mode.

I don’t know a lot about how to use it yet, though. You can read a bit more at Nicholas Bishop’s blog:
