Dodgy shadows, with pretty much anything i model!

[lardbros]

Right, this has probably been answered millions of times, but why the hell do i keep getting breaking up with my raytraced shadows???:(

Or maybe i should ask how to fix it!?? I know its probably to do with non-planar polys, but no other program i've used has this problem!

Fine... if you triple the polys it tends to stop it too, but i hate tripling them... i love my quads!!



I would be soooo greatful for ANY kind of help!

Cheers me-dears!

How about posting a picture? I have a feeling your gut instinct is right.

I guess there isnt much way around it, ive just subpatched it and left it like that!

Ive only just realised that subpatching actually makes 3-sided polys anyway!

And 3dmax, and probably others too, their quads are actually 2, 3-sided polys!

Ahh well, its me being stupid again!

Here's a piccy of what im working on anyway!!
