THANK YOU! "In preview mode" was the key phrase. In all the trial-and-error struggles to make something that didn't look like an M.C. Escher fantasy, I never tried rendering! I just assumed that an object that looked weird in the preview mode would be the same when rendered. On further observation, the rule seems to be: A closed object like a torus or a sphere shows OK in preview, but anything with open ends (curved tube, horn, etc) goes Escherisch in preview. Again, tremendous thanks.
