I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!
triangulation errors?

Description
Idk why this model looks smooth in XSI, but the normal maps don't do much good in UDK. I hate how the trianlges show. Either I messed up smoothing groups, or I have to check lightmap or even re-bake everything just to figure out the source of errors.
512x512 texture resolution 680 Tris. I feel with the low level of detail I have, I should be able to make this look good as low as 400-450 polygons. Yet, first of all I have to figure out the errors.
Check if on your UV etc. - Maps the parts are not too close together, because this can mess up alot in UDK.
Just one tip I saw in a UDK Development Video, it might help :/
wow, that is pretty low res for the texture. I'm surprised it looks so good! For some reason I figured the lowest would be 1024x1024
might be the normal maps fighting the smoothing groups. try putting everything in one group & re-bake.
