For games, whats the correct way to smooth the normals for a character? Currently Im using Soften Edges in Maya. Do you do a uniform soften based on the angle or do different areas get a custom angle?

Topo more or less done, now to crush ngons

In games, are poles okay or should they generally be avoided? If they are bad, what's the consequence of having them?
