Douglas Ferrin Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi - in the am tech reference it says to turn on the “Options/Cast Shadows” under my klieg light settings but I can find no such option. I've made soft shadows but not for a couple of versions - could someone tell me what the trick is that I'm missing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 14, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 14, 2011 Here are the settings in the shortcut's properties in the chor. You could also make these settings in the original light in the Objects folder. Most important... set the width of the light to a larger value. "Penumbra" only jitters the light about 9 positions which won't be enough for smooth penumbras with very large lights. Multipass allows more jitters for beter results.

Douglas Ferrin Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks very much Robcat - I didn't have the z-buffer switch set. I think that should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 14, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 14, 2011 If you increase the "softness" you can hide the stepping of the light (at the expense of a very sharp shadow at the base). Experimentation is always in order with lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
