one of the nice features of mental ray is the rounded corners bump, which adds adjustable faked rounded edges your objects for increased realism. you can see an example here:

do a page search for round corners and see it close to the bottom (it adds a fake surface tension to the water)

We've had a lengthy discussion on this, definitely something people want to see.

ah - good to know.

it would add realism in the way Maxwell plays with light, as perfect corners don't exist in reality

agree. vray has the similar function too.
