So this is my first attempt on a car (yeey) Nissan GTR. But as everyone knows a car does NOT have flat faces... So that brings me to my problem, everytime when i try to use Smooth Vertex my car gets messed up. So, how can i make my car look smooth and not flat faced? This is what it looks like now:

Nissan GTR

Thanks Alot!

    $\begingroup$ Try "Smooth" in "Object Mode" not "Smooth Vertex". You may also want to add a "Subsurf" modifier. $\endgroup$ – Dontwalk May 5 '16 at 18:06

    $\begingroup$ Dontwalk this worked really well, the only thing is, the back of a nissan GTR, the 'trunk' is going in a sharp angle from the bottom to the left, now it is smooth, how do u get that ONE part not to be smooth? haha $\endgroup$ – Luc Stey May 5 '16 at 18:27

    $\begingroup$ In "Edit Mode" Try selecting the edge and then increasing the "Mean Crease" in the transform panel (Toggled on/off with the "N" key). Or you could add a loop cut(s) close to the edge you'd like crisper. $\endgroup$ – Dontwalk May 5 '16 at 18:50

Select the faces in Edit Mode, then select the menu option: Mesh/Faces/Shade smooth

    $\begingroup$ @LucStey Only select the faces you want to be smooth, then do as Reden said. $\endgroup$ – Luka ash May 5 '16 at 18:44

There are three ways you can do it.

1. Subdivision surface modifier

You can use a subdivision surface modifier to make the faces smooth. But, the problem with that is the car is too rounded.

2. Smooth shading

You also can use smooth shading, located within the toolbar on the left. But, you must make sure that all the faces are quads.

3. Bevel

You can use bevel at the sharp edges. In edit mode, select the edges you want to make it smooth and then press Ctrl+B

You need to use subsurf modifier and then add a loop cut to make the edge sharp.

You also need to use smooth shading.
