[camionero]

Hi guys i have this problem on the image i have the sun size on 5 and the shadows subdivs on 60 !! and still have those ugly shadows what can i do to fix it ??
(i downgrade the jpg quality a lot so thats for the overall render quality but the shadows are like that on the raw image)

Re: shadow problem

you dont need 60 here. the problem is that angle imho plus the shadow are too soft. so they create a different pattern effect. in order to see the quality.. zoom it on that area and rerender that area. also for shadow use.. adaptive qmc

Re: shadow problem

I think that shadow bias is the natural light effect, as you can see on the wall the shadows are much more defined, its natural that on the distance shadows react like that, i like how they look, if you need stronger shadows try increasing the light strenght and make less sensitive the physical camera. cheers.
