Hi, there!
There's no scatering when I use a fast skin material with an area spot.
Here's a picture (the light I'm speaking about come from the right):

I hope someone will give me a solution.

Thanks.

I've noticed this happening when I have a large area light setting on the mental ray area lights. Normally you can decrease the area light size parameters and this will clear up. Of course if you need to use a large area light for soft shadows, try using the photometric area light instead...it works great and doesn't create these harsh lines.

Thank you, Jeff!
However, I noticed that there was no problem with an omni area light.
