So when its all done, I plan on smoothing it out, but I also wanted to know if using the smooth tool for polygons was the same thing as making it into subdivisions?

looks nice, and I love seeing models with hard-normals on. Looks so charming. When you soften the normals, I find it usually doesn't look good unless you subdivide a million times.

Thanks! I pressed 3 but nothing happened. I have maya 7 so I dont think i have the feature your talking about.

I think its the angle because I'm basing this off of 3 orthographic views.
I totally agree, having the normals set to 0 helps show faces that may not flow with the grayscale gradient when the faces are curving. Thanks! ill post up a pic with it smoothed
