Maya and smoothing

Okay, so I had to use Maya for a bit.

I've been setting edges, hard/soft. The problem is, there's no updates in the viewport so I can't see what the smoothing on the mesh will look like.

When I do a render, it just looks real blobby, like everything is smoothed, even though I've tried setting even the angle for the whole thing to all sorts of numbers, tried selecting all edges and setting soft, or hard, no change. Still looks exactly the same.

EDIT: Okey, so average normals, set normals to face or something like that got rid of all previous smoothing leftovers... Still, smoothing is not showed in the viewport, have to render every time to see what it looks like. Also, I'm getting some artifacts, does this smoothing not work with ngons perhaps?
