hi,
I have this images with his shadows, but these ones are not correct.

I have also changed the antialiasing parameters but without effects.

why?


light distant 80% hard shadows
+
dome light 3% soft shadows



thanks, ciao

could it be the size of your shadow maps? they might be too small a resolution - try increasing the shadow map size maybe

i cant understand your explanation of what the problem is sorry :P and that jpg attatchment is awfully small and bitty.

but by the looks of the image you have AA issues behind glass. first off set the AA filtering to BEST, and if that no works then up the AA samples to the effective objects.

Most soft shadow problems are either caused by too low resolution or incorrect shadow bias. I can't tell what's going on from the little attachment either.

sorry for my bad english. :rolleyes:

my problem is in the shadow form, they are not linear.

i used a hard shadow, so the "mapsize" is inaccesible.

it is difficult to explain in english for me :cry:

your aa should be best 2x2 4x4 (only by increasing the min samples will you be able to correctly aa hard shadow edges). this is just the way aa works.
