Awesome tip.  Thanks, Roman.

I am somewhat new, yes.  I've modeled a decent amount in it, but I have very
little experience in rendering and using other applications.

I have noticed at times that when I switch to shaded view, sometimes I have
those seams/bands running through the surfaces, and it's caused me
headaches.  So this info will be very helpful.:)

Again, thanks man.
