How to get rid of hard shadows in my render?

[Scott Thomas]

We’re only looking at the preview and not the final render, so it’s a little hard to judge. There are no lights in the scene, so we’re apparently only dealing with the single “default” light, so it’s probably not that.

My first thought was perhaps the flat sides of the box are not planar, but that’s probably not the problem.

I’m guessing that there’s a reflection map is the surface material that is generating the line. That same line is seen in the material preview.

It does show up on the texture map. If I was gonna remake the box for something that wasn’t a bunch of polygon objects combined. How would I go about making a box with a texture on it? My question is should I remake it or is there a way to fix it?
