This covers a section that most new artist's REALLY REALLY need to pay attention to! I cant tell you HOW many models I see with basic smoothing groups issues. If your model is suffering from random dark spots, ESPECIALLY on the trailing edges of wings or other sharp objects, pay attention!
This only covers smoothing of polygons on the same objects or elements. I will make another tutorial covering how to smooth between two SEPARATE objects, or whats called in IL2 as "null smoothing". Its covered in the non-video tutorial, but I think doing a quick video using the spheres will help people a lot. Null smoothing is how you blend in doors or separated sections of the aircraft.

P.S. Check out my demo reel. Please. I have had it up there for like 3 days, and has 0 comments. Its getting lonely since the 1st tutorial has over 300 views!
