this is a scene that we are working here at napalmstudio, the character was modeled by Marcell mota e and the background by me. We want to make a stereo video, the stero is working, the most normalmap map too, but only at the arms theres a error!!
it's a directlight scene with daylight.

it looks like the usual sunlight artifact. Octane lacks a shadow offset parameter, right now the arm is sorta self-shadowing, hence the artifact. Subdivide the mesh as high as possible to at least reduce the artifact's size. I believe that, other than that, it should not have nothing to do with the normal map.

If this is animation, you should value if it's noticeable at all in movement.
