Hi to all: I’m doing this work for the Uni. Do you know how to get more shadow at the ground? I’m reading the Vfr Manual and i found the Light and Shadow section but there are only details for Vfr lights…and im only using GI with Michas Hdri.

Thank you all

Re: Shadow Details

If you like to get hard shadows, you must set an additional lightsource like an arealight (size control the softness of the shadow) or a distant light for a sun light effect.
GI environment are good for soft shadows “only”.

Hey Micha, im at the second part of this project for the Uni. I realize my render has a really great shadow when i use the default settings of Vfr. Is this because the sun light?

Thank you

Re: Shadow Details

Right, the default setup use the physical sky, a color gradient sky for soft lighting/shadows + sun. The current sun can cause reflection artefacts between blury interreflections (shown at the starterkit thread), so be careful.
