I've run into this problem on and off since I started modeling for Poser a long time ago, and never have solved it. There was a subtle reference to it yesterday in a post, so it made me remember this issue.

The attatched pic is the "Smooth Lined" version of a prop (a fence for example). It was created in 3ds Max and imported as an obj into poser. When rendered, the edges look rather rounded. This is in Poser 5 but the "smooth polys" option is off (with it on, obviously it's crazy). The same problem occured in Poser 4, so I'm sure this is nothing to do with P5.

In the post the other day, someone mentioned subdividing the faces. Does Poser like more polys on a surface better? If that's the answer, any ideas about a utility to do so easily. 3ds Max can only do that manually or with the Mesh smooth option which is not what I want to do in this case.

Thanks for the help!
