Hey y'all,

    I'm a little stumpted, and I hope you'll excuse my taking up the
list's time with such a rudimentary problem--but I can't get a sphere to
look smooth.

    I don't recall having this prob before, but maybe my spheroids
have been far enough from the camera that smoothing does the trick.

    I've even tried tripling and subdividing, thinking the more
polygons, the smoother.  My sphere was nearly sixty k polygons, and still
looked like a great geodesic dome.

    Obviously I have smoothing turned on, and that's why I'm puzzled
as to why it doesn't seem to be doing the trick.  Could someone clue me in
as to what sort of max smoothing angle will work?

    Thanks.
