Increasing lightmapping quality (values beyond 64 are not recommended at all ) will change nothing apart more accurate shadows and better transitions between lit areas and unlit ones. Because this is how FPSC handles lighting : per-polygon, not per-pixel.

Shaders can somehow reduce ( not getting rid of it ) the issue but not always. Another solution is to smooth your mesh properly with a modeling tool, but it will not work out perfectly, because FPSC uses per-polygon based lightmapping.

Utinni !

That was my first guess. I'm no pro, but I remember this is what my models looked like before I learned how to use smoothing in MilkShape.

Also, try setting it to dynamic and see if it improves.

I'm sorry. My responses are limited. You must ask the right questions.

Its nothing wrong with the smoothing in C4D. And I have tried different lightmap settings, with no luck...

Set "lightmapboost" in setup.ini to 10. It's gonna work.

If it's didnt work then problem in model itself try to smooth it in 3dmax or fragmotion.

I will see if I can smooth it in fragmotion without adding alot of horrible polygons(!) BTW I dont use max, I always use Cinema 4D.
Its strange, the car looks perfect as dynamic object...
