Laconic Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hello, I am running A:M 15c on a Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC Apple G5. When I do multi-pass renders, my shadows are not smooth, but have a grainy, "dithered" look. I have attached an example pic: What are the settings to make shadows more smooth? Any help would be appreciated. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are using multipass rendering, you can opt to distribute the rays over multiple passes. I'm not sure what effect distributing the rays over passes will have on the graininess.

I'll give this a try. I also notcied that Yves said there was a Post-Effect that can smooth this out. Anyone know about this? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
