I'm finding that there is a very noticeable difference when this object is rendered with a crease angle of 50 (upper) and a crease angle of 60 (lower). I did not think that crease angle even had an effect on shadows, and I can't explain the blockiness of the raytraced shadows in the upper image. The faces in question don't actually appear "flat" until lowering the crease value into the 20s, so I have no idea why a value of 50 (or even 59) looks so diffrent from 60.
This is really frustrating, as what works best for the shadows doesn't look right for the reflections and vice versa.
