I'm using a set of Digital Tutors dvd's I'd purchased a few years ago.
In the 'Introduction to Lighting in 3ds Max' Lesson #8, the instructor demonstrates how we can obtain softer shadows by changing the 'Emit light from shape' parameter from 'Point' to 'Sphere'.
He also states that the render time will be longer.
However, this does not occur when I follow along.
There is no difference in either shadow softness nor render time.
I've replayed this lesson over and over..........can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
(I'm using licensed Max 2010, 64-bit.)
THANKS!
