Tracks Weird Shadow, Illumination on road

[SmakzZ]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a local dirt track, and I have an issue with the road.

As you can see on those screenshots:
- 12pm no problem

- Afternoon you can see those dark areas on the road

- Evening same problem

I have been facing this problem for a few days, i'm a little disappointed

I have already tried to reset Xform and edit normals.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried setting Smoothing groups to auto smooth?
Or, the issue could be caused by the normal map texture.

@Rigel Looks like an RTB job, no smoothing groups in that world

I think your SpecularEXP values need tweaking, try setting a higher value.
And i recommend a different shader altogether... ksMultilayer_fresnel_nm is much better and you can combine different detail maps for a very realistic surface. Have a read here http://assettocorsamods.net/threads/photo-quality-road-surface.834/

He talked about resetting Xform, so I guess he's working with 3ds max

I started only the track and terrain in RTB and then I continue the work in 3Ds Max.
@Rigel you right, I tried a different normal map and the shadows are gone

Thank you
