Since this thread was started by ockham, I thought I'd demonstrate something using ockham's beautiful freebie - the 1920's refrigerator.

When I turned on polygon smoothing, things went a little haywire. I had to go around turning off smoothing or adjusting crease angles for various parts. But I wasn't able to fully take advantage of the smoothing because too much of it had unwanted bulges. A few extra polygons would take care of that, but since they're not there, I couldn't get all of it to show off nicely.

However, the handle ... now that's a work of art, ockham.

Here is the handle rendered without smoothing. It's a little hard to see, but if you look at the curve on the left-most part, you can see it is made of just 5 polygons. You might have to zoom this image to see it clearly.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
