Need some help,

I have a simple target spot light in Max 2009. I am trying to use a Shadow Map and get soft shadows. I up the sample range to 50, down to .01, they all seem to look extremely similar. Is there something that I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You must decrease the shadowmap resolution. Leave the samples high, but make sure if the speed is adequate: some shadowmap settings can make it slower than a raytraced soft shadows.
