Hi DesuDeus, I'm kind of losing track of what you're trying to show.

Those seem to be looking good, is there a problem there?

Is it possible that your HDRI image is somewhat lower resolution and causing additional artifacts because of that?


It looks like you've got a screenshot there of the default C4D renderer which does not appear to have any kind of artifacts in it at all. If you're getting bad results specifically from Maxwell renders you will probably want to go to the Maxwell forum and see about getting some tips about what you can adjust in the Maxwell renderer to improve things, maybe you need to mess with some settings or use a higher resolution HDRI image or something along those lines.
