Smooth and Shadows question

[corkscrewloop]

Created a 1m cube for test purposes in Blender. Used the "smooth" button (instead of flat) in object mode.

Now get some weird shadows, what did I miss?


In front my cube, behind the one from the ingame art shapes.
If you look at the shadow on the gras, I would expect it to look similar like the cube behind.

Any help and explanation would be amazing!

rotated one cube (L0) in Blender by -90, 180 degrees...

Any ideas why these shadows are strange?

To get a good smooth shading, you must use the "edge split" modifier and adjust it to your liking.
