This is my first attempt at a low poly character model. Actually it's my first attempt at any character model. It took me along time -please don't laugh.
Someone suggested I use "smooth mesh." What is that?

The poly count is a little high for a game model at nearly 2500 polies. That includes the gun.

Mesh smooth? Isn't that a 3D Max tool?
Maybe someone meant metanurbs or subpatches. Hit your tab key and see what happens. Your model will have to be made up of 3 and 4 point polygons though...

look under your modify menu down to the bottom in the deform group there a button says smooth
its jstu smoothes the angles abit select the poly you want it done too then smooth away until it look how you want it
for a low poly character for game use hitting tab for sub d;'s isn't a good idea as for a game you would need to freese it then you gonna be somethign like 10000 polys at thats mimimum =) could hit shift d then select metaform that the same really though
nope bet bet is smooth tool

Thanks, KillMe. I'm pretty sure that's it.
