robrtt Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
