gross shading

[genbread]

coming back to malt after a long while and dont get why these shadows look gross
turning off self shadows removes it but i want them on
the object is shaded smooth too

Could you post the blend file so I can look into it?

Here you go, Blender 3.0.0 - Beta file.
If the gradient slider goes over value 0.500, it breaks the shading.

Should be fixed now.
