Oh yeah now I see what you're talking about. You can see the rim of the table in the tumbler so its just not picking up the texture of the table in the tumbler. can you up the refraction of the table or make it a little less transparent? Anyrate check the refraction values of the tumbler and the table, check all the tumbler and tables rendering preferences (C2 manual p 531 - 4 and 5 under setting an objects rendering prefs.) It looks to me as though the problem is with the table but I'm not certain. Sorry not to be of more help, - TJ
