Hello!
I'm trying to make a heightfield with some thin-walled craters on it, my 
problem is the tops of the craters are all jagged, no matter what AA 
setting I render it at. I'm using POVRay to make the hf, with a marble 
pigment and warp/black_hole to make the crater things.

Thanks-

The three answers I've got are:

1.  Are you using the "smooth" keyword?
2.  Are you using a high-res map (sometimes low res causes this problem)?
3.  Are you viewing it from a direct angle (parallel) or from directly
above?

That's all I can think of right now, hope it helps.
