Ballooning happens a lot when you don't have enough polys... or at least that's what I've noticed.

And yes, unbeveled edges are bad.  I saw an item in the marketplace in which the vendor put a ton of effort into the texture, but didn't bevel the edges... in fact it looked like it had a pretty low poly.  I ended up passing on that item.

WARK!
