My models are crap on a technical point. I didn't know all those years ago that I should have turned off 'smoothing' for the model parts. The result was that my models all looked shiny and false, like they were made of plastic.

Wrong. Smoothing has nothing to do with that. The plastic appearance is defined by the shaders/materials. Something else I know a lot about...

I was talking about smoothing vertices!!!!!!!!!  I know all about the plastic feature of shaders. I do know that my models look a lot better when I turn off the vertices feature. I know because I'm doing it right now and it works.

I am not coming back to this post.
