Edge smoothing problem - Im a noob at this.

[jonleigh7]

Okay, Ive been starting to create a low-poly abrams tank over the past hour and i've ran into one problem thats ruining the whole model.

Here are two screenshots.








If you look closely, you can pretty much figure out that the hard edges are appearing smooth and react smooth. I never rounded out the edges or changed any settings... (i dont think)

I'm a noob/ pre-intermediate user so this is probably a stupid question.
---- This is the first time it happened in any one of my models.
I restarted and everything, but i cant solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

[jonleigh7]

You think that model is well enough for presentation?

[shmykis]

Give us some render's witch you will use for the presentation purpose, because from the screens you've provided I can't give you any advice

I have made a couple of lowpolys just to try how they are made. Don't panic. When you will apply the textue everything will be ok . If you want to make a good lowpoly model, you need 2 models : a low poly model, and the high poly version. Then you will use the high-poly model to create the normal maps (baking process) . Use this tutorial and you will understand everything :
