CGTalk - Strange shadows

Hi everybody.

I´m modeling a very basic series of shapes for some desk acessories, and I got surprised that when I add a light with soft shadows, I get stange shadows along the extrusion lines.
This is a shape drawn with splines in C4D9 and extruded. The shadows are seen with soft shadows, but not wih hard shadows or no lights. I tried to change all the parameters, even the phong tag angle and the mesh tesselation, but I only get worst results never better ones.
I´m getting this shadows in several pieces, with Extrusions, Lathe and Loft nurbs.

Any solution?

try unchecking absolute bias in the shadow tab and see if that helps

im sure someone else who knows what they're talking about will come along to help though :)

Hi, Ric !

It worked. I suspected that I was missing some checkmark somewere, but never used that one.
Thank you for the fast answer.
