Nice work on this. I tried to use this model and make the mesh emissive to simulate bright light on the bamboo, but there were some issues with the mesh for the straw walls on the sides so I gave up on it, it looks like you fixed that. Nicely done.

Thanks. Your work is excellent,too. I truly appreciate all the effort you put into it. I also struggled with the part you mentioned. When I checked in Blender, I found that the face normals of one side of the wall were completely flipped. And as for the bundle of straw, it turned out to be a model that shouldn't have its vertices merged. The surfaces are double-joined, which causes unnatural shadow seams and shading artifacts from the inside. It was challenging, but I learned a lot in the process.
