I don't quite get how to make soft shadows, I've been trying to figure it out for while now. But I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look for.

cooldude234:
You have to go into the properties light, by double clicking on it, click advanced then you will have the full shadow properties, make sure you have it set to ray trace, and make sure you have softness checked then enter in a value for the softness where it says size.

You also got to make sure your rendering with ART and you have anti aliasing on.

fromsoysauce:
Ok thanks!

It really does look much nicer... But it takes like 10 minutes to render 1 frame... I think it would be rather impractical if I wanted to render even a 2 minute animation.

Raxx:
You can set the soft size to any radius. It's basically the "spread". Generally you'll start seeing softness at 10 or higher.

ART is not required, Scanline does soft shadows just as well (better, in my opinion).

Experiment with a basic scene until you're familiar with how it works.

Very cool, I think Steve had modeling hobbyists in mind when he concieved Anim8or.
