made the glass and the water surfaces in rhino, they don't intercsect with each other, i render in bryce and i get this weird thing going at the lower half of my glass.

any ideas?

Can we see a fully rendered image ? For the one above, it looks like you've over smoothed the glass mesh. Sometimes meshs surfaces will separate when smoothing at over 90 degrees. In Rhino, convert the glass to a mesh at greater resolution, then use the Tools / Polygon mesh / Weld function (welding perhaps not necesary, depends how you made it). In Bryce, smooth at 45 degrees first, if that still leaves facets, smooth with higher degree.
