I have imported an object in the shape of a tapered drinking cup into Renderize Live. The object was created by a sweep operation and has 36 facets. When I apply a solid-color material and select smoothing for the object, the object renders smoothly, as expected. However, when I try to apply a marble-like material from the Textures and Materials CD, the facets become visible. I am using organic mapping. What is causing the facets to appear when I render the object? How do I prevent this? Thanks, Michael Katz
