Hey guys,

I have completed my 3D model of Zero and now wish to animate it. Problem is, when i combine all the meshes together, All meshes either harden, or smoothen. For example, i made the face in smooth preview, and the helmet in normal preview. I want to keep all meshes exactly as they are. Any ideas?
Forgive me if this is really easy and i'm missing it, i'm new to 3D modelling.

*prntscrn 1 is before combining, and prntscrn 2 is after combining. Notice the smooth/hard meshes.

Thanks
