Smoothing my poly model
 

Hi, I have a polygon model of a giraffe that I want so look much smoother i've included a pic of the quick render.
Whats the best way to smooth him without loosing to much detail?

Thanks for the help;)

Looks like it already has plenty of geometry. I think you'd just need to Edit Polygons > Normals > Soften/Harden Edges > Options. Choose All Soft and apply.

Just tried that but nothing happens except the frame turns from green to white?

lol Mike, looks like I'm not the only one who has had soften/harden problems :p

You might also try investigating Edit Polygons > Normals > Average Normals. That command works at the object, face, and vertex levels.

Cool, thanx Guys, I used edit polygons > normals >average normals,

another newbie rescued;)

It's amazing how that tool only works for me. ;)

It works for me fine too, Mike. You're not alone. ;)
