Is there a way to smooth polygons in Octane?

Poser has a feature called smooth polygons that rounds up the mesh if it's low resolution.
It seems Octane doesnt have such option. Or does it? Is there an option to smooth polygons?

You can turn smoothing on/off at the material level (see question 1 in the FAQ
https://docs.otoy.com/#44FAQ and
https://docs.otoy.com/#44Glossy%20Material). Or you can subdivide the mesh (either in Poser or Octane) - see Subdivision at
https://docs.otoy.com/#44Octane%202.0%20Features.

Only thing i have in my materials is "smooth" but i have it enabled and it doesn't do anything... :/
There's no such thing as "Normal smoothing" neither in diffuse node or glossy.

Smooth does work with enabling smooth in each material
It does not do it as good as Poser, but in Octane you can turn on subdivision and it will look better
See attached pictures

Normal Smoothing = Smooth. Also, make sure Setup->Smooth Default is ENABLED.
If you could post a screenshot of your prop we can get a better understanding of the smoothing issue you are having.
