| Hi Dooky. As Piem mentioned, you might need to tesselate the mesh at higher density to avoid some of those artifacts. I much prefer to mesh my objects in Rhino, than to use Carrara's mesher. Rhino's mesher gives you much more control. If you are 100% happy with the object display in Rhino, then you can run "_ExtractRenderMesh" to grab the display mesh. Then export it using the OBJ exporter found in the Rhino Labs. The Labs exporter supports vertex normal smoothing. so your rendered object should appear exactly the same in Carrara as it does in Rhino... One more benefit to meshing your object in Rhino is that R4 polysurfaces now have "packed" textures by default. So when you mesh from Rhino, all the UV areas will be nested into one UV space. This means you can use a single texture map to shade your mesh. No UV work required. Or you can unpack them by running "_UnpackTextures" before meshing/extracting...
