Hi, I’m a new to Illustrator, so I would appreciate it if you could point out any inaccuracies.

 

In Illustrator, when I inflate a group of paths I created using a 3D material, some of the shadows are blurred/distorted as shown in the image below. Some parts of the shadows are not properly distorted and have depth(?) is also created in some areas. If anyone knows how to remove the distortion, I would appreciate your help.

 

Below is the environmental information and the links I used for reference.

 

Thank you in advance.

It's kind of a weird thing that comes and goes. 

You could try simplifying the artwork, making it larger or smaller, but it might also be something between Illustrator and your graphic card. Nobody knows that right now.
