Chirone was exactly right about explaining what I meant about beveling the edges.

If you render an object and find that an edge blends into the object so that you can't see the edge, adding a bevel can make the edge stand out because the edge can now reflect the lighting (i'll post an example for you when I get off work). But as you said Phizzon, since you were just doing the object for UV texturing purposes, yeah...not necessary.
