Light behaviour issue or not?

Hi guys,


There is something I don't understand about light properties.
As you can see in the attached screenshot with 1 area light the reflection I get on the geometry is like having 4 different lights…
Same if I combine the 4 different plane in a single geometry.

Maybe I missed something somewhere or it's an issue…? I would love to understand ;o)


Thanks
Regis

PS: I'm using C4D plugin 1.53.1 on mac.

@glimpse thank you, but normals are fine.

@Ahmet well, once again the master wrote and yes I had to decrease at 10˚ the phong angle to make it work.
Thank you very much, as usual you are the man ;o)

Cheers
Regis

np. Octane handles same angle differently
