Title: Soft shadows light through objects?
Post by: LonnieChristopher on May 29, 2022, 11:52:19 AM
When I use soft shadow light settings of more than 2 the light tends to bleed through objects. I come across this issue now and then and can't seem to solve it. Any thoughts on how to solve this, and is this a bug?

Kinda makes sense..as the boundary blurs more, it blurs past object boundaries.

Are you suggesting it is working as intended?

I believe so. Shadow edges are blured to the point light is let around borders is my thinking.

I'm not sure, if it's really a soft shadow thing. Try checking "receive shadows from surfaces" in your atmosphere tab and in clouds as well, if you have any.
