Weird shading error
polycounter lvl 8
Hi,
I have some nasty shading errors on my building and have absolutely no clue why is it doing this. Can it be caused by the triangles being too thin there? (actually I have been told that I should always avoid thin triangles, but I have never seen any issues caused by them)

Btw the wall is a bit rotated (it has to match the reference exactly), the errors disappear if I align the wall with the closest axe.

Are the polygons on the wall all planar?
Btw, if I'm here I ask it, what do you think about the long thin triangles? Can they do any harm?

To be honest, long thing triangles were very bad for performance years ago. I don't know if they have the same impact now a days. A smarter person might be able to answer that.
With that said, I am assuming this is a lifesize building, so your triangles aren't very thin.
