Can anyone offer some tips on getting rid of perfectly straight, hard edges in a rendering? Is there a way to use a bump map or normal map that would "chip" away at the edge a little bit? This seems to be one of my obstacles in acheiving photo-realism.

Apply small radius or variable fillets to the conspicuous edges in SW? :)

Thanks pixelrush :) was hoping for a solution that doesn't give me more polygons, but I guess that would sorta wrap the bump map around the corner.
