is there any way to apply something like smoothing groups to your mesh in maya? i have tried using the smooth option in the polygon menu but it applies way to many faces to the mesh. i am modeling a gun so i do not need a lot of polies added to the model for smoothing. hope i made myself clear. any help would be appreciated. thanks :xtreme:

If you have allready enough polies and you want to get a smooth surface, you may want to use "edit polygones/ normals/soften harden" with a value around 45 degre. ( if I understand what you need... )
