      Anyone have settings for a diffused shadow exterior render (As produced by a cloudy/ overcast sky)?

        The latest version of Podium supports soft (diffused) shadows, unlike earlier versions. There is no way to change the sunlight implementation, but if you want the shadows even softer, you might be able to position some transparent geometry in front of the sun. I haven't ried it, so I'm not sure if it will work. Might be worth a try though.

          Thank you very much. It works. I also found a solution using a lot of omnilights (500) in the direction of sun but needs 28 min to render and not only 5 min.
