How can I turn off smoothing?

[babywax]

Right now I'm working on my first face, but I want to see it as just plain triangles/polygons. For some reason, some parts of it are smoothed and some parts aren't. I don't have any mesh smooth modifier on, and I have never done any smoothing groups(on any of my models, never even tried so far), how can I fix this? Picture:

Oh yeah, I'm using 3dsmax 5. Thanks for any help!

it'll tell you in the manual.

right click on the 'Perspective' label in the top left of that window and go down about 3 options ( the one with the arrow next to it ) and another couple of options will appear to the side, click on Facets or Facets + Hi ( ones with highlights, the other without.

have fun. oh, and are you following a tutorial for that face, because at the moment the mesh looks a little messy.

*edit* PS fen i love your sig...so true :farmer:

Ah, I hate manuals, too much stuff to find something so small

No tutorial, but don't worry, I've done some models before, I have every edge turned the exact way I want it. :thumbs: (also, it looks messy because I have the edges only checkbox turned off, so you're looking at every single edge, not just the "connected" vertices)

modelling a face is completely...and i mean completely different to guns and that lark.

Yes, I'm realizing that as I go along

However, I've done a lot of things requiring organised meshes, and this is probably my best yet.

Here's a wire frame with "Edges Only" turned on:

If you can't make the effort to learn properly, then you will fail. And you also don't deserve any help, not until your willing to help yourself.

Ugh, I went through other, quicker tutorials on weapon modelling on the net. I only have smaller gaps of knowledge.

right click > convert to editable polygon > select polygon > control + A > smooth numbers > press clear all, there, all the smooths are gone.. www.3Dtotal.com (lots of free and GOOD tutorials... do check them out)
