hi
No basically … Area shadow = soft shadows

you can still use shadowmaps with vray using standard lights. i still use shadow maps on a rare occasion.

hey i just hit 1000 posts… wheres my secret ring for the fraternity of the posters?

max area shadows workd very well, try that. Lower the settings and it will be quite fast and very good quality. Discreet little overdone that. :slight_smile:

What is the benefit of using max’s area shadows instead of vray shadows set as area shadows? Would have thought vray’s would be faster.
