Hello, thanks for all your responses. indeed there is a normal texture
simulating concrete, so i understand that i will lose detail.

And finally, I managed to appply no_shadow to the CSG, my bad ! : there was a
difference lingering in the code with only one object that i managed not to see.
i removed the offending difference and now everything is ok (no_shadow works
again !)

thank you !
