Great! Thank you for the help in this!

you don't have enough geometry for the curvature you're trying to achieve in the cushion so it's causing shading issues. EDIT: I moved the camera at an extreme angle so you can see how there isn't enough geometry to make good curvature. Subdivide the geometry... use a Subdivision Surface or use a Redshift object tag (in the tag: Geometry override / Tessellation)

I have no material applied to the geo. It's getting these weird relief lines. I attached a project. For some reason this area light is creating the issue––when it is toggled off, it disappears. Is this just a bug? Thank you for reading. Issue.c4d

I just heard one of the local county police departments started using AI for non-emergency calls to answer questions or direct calls to the right departments. I had friends laid off from the government and government contracting who are finding it hard to get even a "standard" tech job. LOADS of applicants for smaller job pools due to AI removing positions and the unknowns in the current economy. I could see AI eating into those concept jobs and smaller positions where Blender and Maya generalists will be the first to go. I stopped looking at Linkedin because everyone is all of a sudden an "AI Evangelist or AI Creative Director", spending thousands on Veo just to make clips to promote their prompt skills.
