ive ran into serious crease problems: the breast area and the shoulder armour were 2 different pieces and when joined and stitch together look fine...prob is when i smooth them they dont look like they are the same piece or even joined at all for that matter? help plz!http://www.strandedwish.net/ray/1.jpg http://www.strandedwish.net/ray/2.jpg

It looks like the vertices aren't welded? Also, (after they're welded) select all of the edges where that visible seam is and smooth the polygon normals.

did you merge the vertices or sew the edges? Sometimes that seems to make the difference. I prefer sewing edges, less work. Also try setting the normals to face.

ah well i merged each vertex seperately since i needed to extrude edges along the way as well, but do you mean to set all the normals to face? or just the messed up ones....thx for the help ...guys

the problem was the normals! i selected the area that was messed and hit "reverse" normals and now all good! thx to the both of you!
