blurry/fading shadows?

[mette]

Ehhh... mabey a really really dumb question but here goes... how do I get "fading" shadows with vray+standard materials? I just want to render really simple objects with white materials so they look like paper models( I am an architect). Thanks in advance.

To get area shadows, use Vray shadows on any type of light (don't forget to check "area shadows), or use vray lights.

but also check the U radius to be greater then 10

well it all depends on the scale of your scene.
