Strange artifacts

Question

I imported a model but after i set the materials, these strange artifact appeared and the lighting seems wrong. I tried to recalculate the normals, disable/enable the autosmooth and other things but none of this worked. Someone have any ideas? EDIT: Enabling soft shadows make the artifacts less visible but the problem still persist, moreover I think that this is only diffusing and softening the shadows without removing the issue. blender version: 2.8 sorry for my bad english

maybe try Properties > Data > Geometry Data, click Clear Custom Split Normals Data? — moonboots, May 27 '19 at 15:52
maybe share a part of your object on https://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/ — moonboots, May 27 '19 at 16:15
The site continue to give me "error uploading", so i cannot share the object — Parmex, May 27 '19 at 16:37
I uploaded the file in a google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t1Cf91QPQqC3gIsDUM38B0135K_MdsHL?usp=sharing — Parmex, May 27 '19 at 16:44

I think what you need to enable is the "Soft Shadows" setting under the render settings tab in the shadows dropdown.

Below I have a model with a similar issue with the shadows looking really jagged and bad:

Then, I turn on 'Soft Shadows' (seen on the right), and it looks much better:

I am not 100% sure that this is your problem, but it might, be, so I hope it helps.

Thank you for the answer; this reduced the problem but it's still visible,soft shadows don't resolve the issue, simply make it less apparent – Parmex May 27 '19 at 17:06
