Shadows

fefe01:
hello folks! I would like to take advantage from this topic to talk about my problem with shadowing. is it possible with anim8or to have shadow nuance? for example, when the caster is close to the receiver of shadow, the shadow is very clear and the further the caster go from the receiver, the more blured the shadow on the receiver will be.

ENSONIQ5:
Yes, soft shadows can be set in Scene mode.  In Light Properties, click 'Advanced' button in Fixed Properties section, select 'Ray Trace' shadows, select 'Soft' in Ray Parameters section and set the size of the light source.

fefe01:
thank you very much ENSONIQ5. i happened to see that menu many times but never thought that it causes soft shadow.

I my self am also having issues as well. Any ideas?

Steve:
For shadows you need to:

1. Check both the Casts Shadows and Receives Shadows boxes in an Element's properties dialog in the scene editor.
2. Add a User light and check the Casts Shadows box and the Soft Shadows box and set the size of the light in the light's Advanced properties dialog.
3. Render using anti-aliasing.
