Oh right. Have you tried to smooth it again using the 'E' (edit mesh) section and choose about 90 and check the 'solid when Boolean rendering' . that usually works??

Could you not change the model in 3DS to increase the smoothness, other than that I'm stuck too :(

No, I mean change the smoothness in 3ds max then import it into Bryce.

ahhh ok, I think I did that as well, its smooth and fine in 3ds but in bryce its not...

How did you get the Bishop so smooth, I did notice that there are more lines/edges that make it smoother as on the pawn too.

errm... I think that I used the cmoothing feature in 3ds Max, but if you look closely, you will see its not perfectly smooth. I will try smoothing again!

I seem to remember this happening to me years ago when I was first experimenting with Poser to Bryce. I always had faceted models with .3ds. I never had these problems with .obj models imported into Bryce. Have you tried .obj as an import format? Is this at all feasible for you from MAX? Just a thought.

Don't forget that in Max the smooth option (I'm guessing this started out as a cylinder) will fake the smooth result at render time. As suggested above try using a Mesh Smooth (with multiple iterations) in Max or (you're going to hate me for this!) start with a higher number of sides on the max cylinder - this will mean starting the model from scratch though.

As I found out .3ds is an old file format with many limitations. Check out the URL above an read post 13 by maxxmodelz. Very informative.
