Parsable Meta-Data for High-detail vs. Low-detail parts and primitives

[Reuben Pearse]

Do "Curve quality" and "Flat Shading" make any difference to the level of detail when exporting to a 3DS file from LDView?

Also, I was wondering if there are high-quality parts for:
- Minifig Hand - 3820.dat
- Minifig Head - 3626* parts

If there are higher quality versions of the minifig head, is there an easy way to convert existing patterned head parts to use a higher-quality head (i.e. a smoother, more rounded head)?
