This is a common problem with smooth-shaded, low-polygon-count models. It is caused by mismatching of the true shape of the polygonal model and the smoothed normals.

Here are three solutions:

1. Soften the lighting.

Increasing the size of the light will:

✔ Preserve the polygon count.
✔ Preserve the shader realism.
✖ Alter the look of the render.

2. Adjust the shadow termination.*

Adjusting the shadow termination offset will:

✔ Preserve the polygon count.
✖ Alter the shader realism.
✔ Preserve the look of the render.

3. Subdivide the geometry.

Subdividing the geometry will:

✖ Alter the polygon count.
✔ Preserve the shader realism.
✔ Preserve the look of the render.

* Blender 2.9+ Cycles only

    $\begingroup$ @RafiAkmal I don't. I can tell you that the shadow termination setting is in the object tab in the latest builds when using Cycles to render. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @RafiAkmal You must download version 2.90 or later to have the feature. There is a video that covers this now. youtube.com/watch?v=6Vq_i7KqQlI&t=124s (video uploaded Aug 7) $\endgroup$
