Shadows


Recommended Posts

Hi. I have problems with shadows in mantra and rman.

1. How can I increase quality (resolution) of filter shadows?

Why "shadow softness" doesn work for filter or fast shadows?

2. Any ideas how to make shadow maps for rman in Houdini?

thanks in advance

AFAIK filtershadows and fastshadows are raytraced and so should match the quality of your geometry, by which I mean the only way I know to improve them is to increase the shading quality of your objects.

Also I think shadow softness only works with shadow maps - might be wrong - so try using deep shadows or z-depth shaows.

To get soft shadows with raytraced shadows try making the lights area lights.
