I'm sure the info is out there, but I'm wondering if someone her can tell me why, when I do a production-quality render of my Poser figure, one of those material settings causes the edges to bulge, turning a straight cylinder into an ellipse and such. Something to do with the Material room, I'm sure, but I'm not sure why its happening.

"Smooth polygons" You can turn it off in render settings for the whole scene, or for individual items/parts, in Properties.

Yep! That's the solution. I learned that with my Good Year Blimp mage staff, LOL I had to turn off "smooth polygons" for the staff and it worked fine.
