3ds Max help.

[Jehuty187]

Hi, i've been making a couple of models just for practice, and when im done them they are all not smooth, and like they are in flat shaded, but it's not. Even when i render them it looks all messed up like it's not smooth. So, I was wondering how to fix this. I know someone's going to say smoothing groups, but I don't know how to use them or anything.

Also, if anyone knows how to change the thickness of the edges, please tell.
Thanks in advance.

Hopefully this can help you with using smoothing groups (even though it's for Half-Life 2): http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Hammer/html/Smoothing_Groups.html

laheen had a mini-tut for this =/
basicly, select every polygon and scroll down to the parametre "polygon properties" and tick on the 1.. If you want better smoothing groups play around by assigning polygons to different smoothing groups
