Smoothing errors in Max
I've been working on a TF2 item and I'm nearly done with the low-poly but one thing that's preventing me from finishing it are these smoothing errors. The areas of the helmet shell that are chamfered are making hard edges in the smoothing when I want it to be a smooth surface all over. Here's the areas I'm talking about.… -

You can still see them at a few angles but it's barely noticeable and while playing the game you aren't going to see it and go "Hey, that helmet has smoothing errors on it!" Anyway no baking is required because I'm not even using a normal… -

For example in the image below, I just spin the… -
