3D inflated art has rippled edges
I'm getting rippled edges when I apply inflate to vector artwork. I've tried various settings but can't get it to appear as smooth lines. There's also a slight clipping to the right pupil. Can't get it to render properly.

Lewis, the way Inflate works is dynamically triangulate the surface. It is actually made of flat triangles, and at certain angles their irregular nature leads to these visible bumps. This is less noticeable for organic shapes, but is more for straight lines like your art has...
There is no exposed control we can access to increase the number of triangles generated, it’s calculated automatically based on many factors.The only certain way to improve I can offer so far is to share this file with the team to look upon and perhaps improve the algorithm — please send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com and put the link to this report for tracking purposes, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48463469
Plus you can try to use Beveling instead, and scale the art up, or add more points to the original path — but these are all workarounds.
