hi everybody!
I have a problem, look at the image:

Eveni if i tried to use soften / harden, the edges after rendering appear discontinous.
Why?? :(

Did you smmoth this object and disable "keep hard edges"?
But I think you have to split your faces next the edges so it wont be rounded.

yes,
with keep hard edge didn't work....do you think the only solution is to use split poly tool?

Maybe you wanna try to render as subdivision? Just try to convert to subdivision and see what happens.
But I highly suggest splitting your geometry so close to the edges so when you smooth it keeps the overall shape. Use any spitting method you like( Cut, split poly or Byron ..etc)

but in your viewport, does the surface has enough 'slices' to look smooth? if not do a smooth with keep hard edges off, like lazzhar said:thumbsup:
