It would be great if the Subd plugin itself hid this dividing line, or there would be some sort of automatic way.

I'll logged it as something to look into. I just need to make sure it doesn't have any other unintended side-effects.

Thank you for your attention to this!
I noticed that the FredoCorner plugin does this automatically.

Wow - that's an impressible detailed model! Very nice topology as well!

Please no, or at least make this as an option one can toggle on/off, because in general hidden geometry is BAD.
IMHO it would be a more clean workflow to do all the modeling avoiding hidden geometry and only at the last stage, when finalizing geometry for rendering, select all the smoothed edges (select all geometery and then run "selection toys -> select only -> soft edges") and turn them invisible.

Fredo corner plugin has an option for this in "rounding parameters->borders->inner edges" and you can toggle.
I think that's a good approach, because it can be adapted for different workflows.

The solution is making the edges not only soft+smooth, but also hidden?

[rspierenburg]

That and using a Vray Toon Material that renders the subd'ed edges.

Yes, here I showed how this can be done with the additional selection_edge and Curic Deep Select plugins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBCDTTtv2Hc

As I said you cand do that using "selection toys" as well.

[thomthom]

This feels like a V-Ray bug to me. I'd expect soft edges also to not be rendered along with hidden edges.

Unfortunately it is, but it is not critical for me. Of course I wanted this feature to work correctly.

Maybe you are stil studying but you are no student any more.
Great modelling.

and I think, Vizan may change his profile from "beginner" to "advanced" great works

Beautiful work, Vivan. Does it take V-ray to show the subD edge overlay?

Of course not, the functionality of the SubD plugin allows you to do this without Vray, but with Vray effectively)) I am equal to the masters at http://www.3ddd.ru, and I want to represent SketchUp models at the same level.
