Low Ploy Stegosaurus

Another dinosaur I created as a low ploy model was a Stegosaurus. Which is shown below.



When Turbosmooth is applied to the mesh, the bony back plates become softer and rounder edged which does not visual represent the stegosaurus armour along it's back

  
To improve the look of the back plates and give it more contrast against the body, I used meshsmooth instead. This allows me to select the areas which I want to smooth, leaving other areas to stay angular.


I selected areas within edit poly. These red areas show where I want the model to be smoothed.

I apply the meshsmooth to the model, once appled I changed the meshsmooth parameters, by changing the subdivision method to classic and unticking the 'Apply to whole mesh' box. This gave me the desired effect.
