With smoothing, you can avoid that your edges looks chiseled, even if you have a low number of faces. This picture shows a sphere with 256 polygons. Without smoothing, it doesn't look very round and its edges are clearly visible. Setting the faces smooth delivers a much better result.||[[Image(smoothing.png)]]||

-Basic smoothing is very simple. Use it if you have a few areas to smooth. In many cases, this will deliver a nice result. If the result is not satisfying, you can still move on to more complex functions.

- * In Edit mode, select the faces, which you want to be smooth.
- * To make faces appear smooth: W -> "Set Smooth"
- * To make them appear solid: W -> "Set Solid"

-If you have a more complex model, you probably have to use the !EdgeSplit modifier. This modifier allows you to define which edges should appear smooth or sharp.

  * Smooth the whole model in Edit mode (or at least the region of the parts that should be smooth). To do this, select the faces. Press W -> "Set Smooth"
