Problem with UberlightEnvironment 2 shadows

juanjoharo

Hi... I have a question about shadows and leg stockings. When using this lights with the occlusion active, weird shadows appears in the render. The only way i've found to solve this is make two renders. One with occlusion actibe, and the other not and then make a composite image.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If I'm reading that correctly the issue is your Shadow Bias setting. That's an offset, in cm, that is there to step things from casting shadows on themselves (which show up as dark stripes). Things like stockings are usually close to the skin, and as a result some areas may be closer than the default bias setting (and so not cast shadows on the leg) while others have a greater separation (and do cast shadows). Find the Shadow Bias setting and try to lower it, but keep it non-zero; alternatively turn cast Shadows off for the stockings (and optionally, lower the diffuse strength on the legs of the main figure to compensate).

Thanks so much, Richard, lowering the shadow bias works!!!! :)
