little blakc dot

hi all! I am somewhat of a newbie at blender and i have a problem…already. I was using the nurbs sphere and everytime i rendered, there was a random black spot on it. I looked through the Knowledge base and searched this site, and i have found nothing. Anybody know what the porblem might be?

could you put up a screen shot or further describe the nature of the dot?

Maybe a flipped normal?

sorry for the late reply, i was off at a concert. you will be able to find an example here

Use ‘No Puno Flip’.
