3ds max lights and soft shadows

Hi this might be a stupid question but i seem not solve this.

How can i have soft shadows with 3ds max lights for an example i have one omni light and checked only area shadows in vray properties but still the shadows are sharp what am i making wrong?

with vray light it works offcourse but i want to have the same effect with max light is it possible?

with the vray shadows on a 3ds max light you need to check the area shadow box and adjust the uvw size so it mimics the light of a large source. the higher you make those values, the softer the shadow will get.
