I have only two lights in this setup -- one IBL (no AO) and one infinite light. Ive tried various settings, AO on and off, inceresed the shadowmap size, tried point, infinite, etc, but still get these artifacts in the deep shadow creases. What causes this and how can I fix it?

On the suit itself, try setting "normals forward" in the material room

and make sure you don't have "remove backfacing polygons" turned on in your render settings. gorgeous outfit by the way.

Those white lines are all at joints, like the texture map doesn't quite fit. Does it render okay with regular lighting?

After you get the figure in there, I don't think anyone will notice. That guy's head must be HUGE ;)

Backfacing polygons "off" and it renders fine. Thanks!
