Yes, I am saying it should look less rounded. When rendered the glass
appears very thick, as if it becomes a little thicker near the rim, which is
not true of a real glass, actually the opposite is true. I have seen this
as an artifact when I render glasses modeled in sPatch or Hammapatch.
How did you model these?
