Find out what the reason was or having such a problem, when I started to make the armor I checked the "keep faces together" parameter and went a little on modeling then I closed MAYA to get some sleep (sometimes s*** happens!!!) and whe I opened the file again I din't checkthis parameter again!!!! now works just fine (a little to fine I might add!!!! so how can I keep Poser from smoothing polygons tooooo much????
