weird looking shadows
« on: September 23, 2009, 08:57:39 am »
It's not much of a huge deal, but when rendering with the Scanline, I get some fuzzy/pixelated stuff for shadows. The ART works fine, but takes a little longer. I'm just trying to save a little time... so is there a way to fix my rendering issue??  ???

Without renders it's a bit hard to know your specific problem, but it sounds what tends to happen with "volume" shadows.  Make sure none of your lights are set to use this type, use raytraced instead, and see if that fixes the problem.

Don't forget about enabling anti-aliasing (AA), and to set it appropriately in Scene mode.
