Smooth shading

Look up glShadeModel. That should do what you want, though OpenGL defaults to smooth shading in the first place.

Many 3D Modeling packages use OpenGL, by the way.

ok thnx dude!

I tryied this out and, the edge are shaded but, what i wanna do is more like
chamfer the edge, how can i do that without changing the model data?

This has to be done with normals.

A normal - if u dont know - is a vector that is perpendicular to a face. This way a model has sharp edges, such as a cube. For a smooth effect, you need to position normals of the corners of faces, and then average them out.

I realise my explenation is crap, so here is an article i pulled up randomly:

Clicky

Good luck!

Ok, i've know about normal, but i've never experimented much with them.
But thx, that was what i was asking for!
