      Hello everyone,
      Is it possible to change the quality of soft shadows in Kerythea, and how?
      I see that in Twilight Render you can control how blurry they are with a slider.
      Thanks in advance!

        You can change the size of an emitter, which will cause a "soft shadow" effect, rather than using a point-source type of light.

        Also, under "Lights" (Settings > Scene Settings > Lights tab), there is a check box for "Soft Shadows".

          Thanks for your reply.
          I have stumbled upon this video tutorial and it seems to be about modifying the sun radius and changing render presets in order to increase quality of soft shadows, so let“s see if I can wrap my head around it.
