Hey,

I am having a tough time trying to get rid of this underlying geometry in this model of an orchid. I modeled the petals as polys, and extruded them slighty so the petals are not paper thin. But when I render it the other side seems to cast shadows inside the shell? How can I fix this, I've tried changing the DMAP resolution and Filter with little difference in results ;[

Thanks!

I dont have a solution to your problem just a work around, first delete that petal then duplicate the opposite petal, then deform it a bit problem gone.

as for the problem
•check the normals
•check to see if there are no extra faces within the petal.

good luck

could be a lighting issue, probably the light is stronger on one side of the pedal and not on the other.
