DaJuice Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Hi vanmoocow, you can either give your light a vex_blurshadow shop which will do the trick, or if you're using H6 you can make your lights into area lights. Go to the Shading tab of your light object, and where it says Area Shape, choose something like Grid or Disk. This will not only give you softer shadows but also softer specular highlights. Cheers.

Scanner Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 And there's a No SHOP option that works even in 5.5... In the Light Object parameters, under the Shading tab is a NoSHOP panel with a slider for... ta-daaa... 'Shadow Softness' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
