kaom, Without looking at how the scene is set up in Carrara, this would be my guess. Your walls are Spline objects. The Spline modeler will create different shader layers for the sides, front and back of your object. It looks like the bump for the Anything Grooves shader is only in one of the layers. A second guess would be that it's a cube and you're using projection mapping, but not in the direction you want it. Another thing to keep in mind is that AG will displace in the direction of the normal. So sometimes getting boxy things to come out the way you want is a challenge. The Presmooth option on AGr will sometimes help to alleviate the problem, but can introduce it's own distortions.
