I've used the crease setting to get a very passable rounded
appearances on surfaces like landing gear struts using surprisingly
low polygon counts. A tube with a cross section having only 8 vertices
can give very pleasing results after you play with the crease setting
a bit, to values like Vivian suggests. The application can have
considerable effect on polygon counts. I learned this trick from
examination of the A-10 model done by Lee Elliott I believe.
