I think the shadows are a bit off, meaning, I don't think there's enough of it and those I see are really hard.

yo :)

What do you mean by hard gect? as in hard to see or hard edged?

im presuming you mean hard edged, should i switch it to depth map shadows over raytrace then?

i wanted to kinda get some light fog through those windows but i dont know how to do it..

Cheers - ruff

I think he means the shadows aren't dark enough, so they're kind of hard to see.

Render looks nice though user added image

'hard' means sharp edges... you nead to increase the light radius in light attributes under 'shadows' and increase shadow rays to counter the artifacts.

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

I do think they need to be darker though.

I see you've changed your avatar yet again lol.

@Ruff

I meant they are too hard edged, you dont have to use depth map shadows to get softer shadowing, you can increase the light radius as Benny said, and unless you go crazy with the shadow rays, the render time shouldn't take that much of a hit. And about your light fog thingy, theres a great tut on that (you'll have to scroll a lil bit down)

Nice tutorials BTW, Thanks :bow:

About the shadow maps - I never used them so I wouldn't know...

Ok.. so i've done what you said.. at least ive tried to lol.
the shadows are a little softer around the edges and more .. visible. however the light shining throught the window still has a hard edge on it.. any ideas how i can soften that a little?

- Cheers ruff
