Looks like a case of smoothing,... use a smooth modifier or manually smooth the faces. Auto smooth often does the trick.

Is the problem that you want it all smooth, or that you don't?

I assume that that's an editable mesh or poly. If you go down to the bottom of the modifier panel with Editable Mesh or Poly in the Polygon or Face Sub-object mode, there is a section called "Smoothing Groups" that has a bunch of little buttons and numbers. You use "Clear All" to get rid of all the smoothing groups, or to assign them, you can select some faces and then press one of the buttons, and all of the faces that you have selected will be shown as smoothed together.

It took me a LONG time to figure that out by myself :)

It works~~~~~Thanks Man.....
Sorry for my vague description...
Actually....I don't want them smooth
I started from a box...And covert it to editable poly
Then...Sliced and cut them as you see.....
After that..I just pull the face up in FACE sub-object mode..
Well...That's all....No smooth......
the result of rendering became like that....
But..Just find <smooth group>
choose those faces and click clear all...
IT Works~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks God!!!!!
And thank you!!!
