Hope you don't mind if I drag this up to the top again. I'd be lying if I said I've been working solidly on this but I keep coming up against the same sort of problems when trying to smooth parts of the model. It's hard to explain this in text, mabe I'll upload some pictures if no one knows what I'm on about. If I smoth a group of faces the whole model becomes strange shades of gray, am I right in thinking this is something to do with normals pointing the wrong ways? I have played with the edit polygons -> normals menu options and 'set to face' seems to sort out the problem but leaves everything with really really sharp edges. Does anyone know what I should try next? Thanks all.
