found out what was causing the problem, the mesh doubled, as in if you pull a cv, u notice their is another one behind it with full edgs. Outliner does not reveal a double. I highlighted the whole mesh and used merge vertices. Only saw it when I used "4" shader, "5" it was hidden.
Any idea how I managed to double the whole edges ? user added image
