You can add a smooth to it, but you might want to add a few edges around the existing edges so when you smooth it you have a nice clean edge..

Yup, true but it doesn't work for closeup shots...Originally posted by Witchy
Can't you also soften individual edges using normals- soften/harden? Can also be handy.
