standard light/VRay area shadows on matt objects

[R2J2]

couldn't find a report on this

using standard lights with vray shadows caues errors on matte objects
also I would like the matte shadows to respect attenuation on the standard lights

[vlado]

What kind of errors?

To get attenuation, you need more than one light source (perhaps a VRayAmbientLight), relative to which the attenuation can be visibile.

Best regards,

ambient light worked, thanks for the tip

here's an image showing the problem with standard lights and vray areas shadows.
