use an area light instead or a point light
point lights are just that, all the light comes from an infinitely small
point, you will get perfect hard edged shadows
area lights are essentially a grid of point lights, except you can have the
samples merged - giving you soft shadows (the default settings)
just has a play with only area lights

But I dont want to use area lights. I want to get soft edges with
spotlights. I have seen some kind of example for doing it in povray.
Could I use spotlight in moray, send the file to pov ray, re-write de file
modifyng the spolight settings and re-run the render? Thanks.
Antonio.
Example.
light_source {
<20, 30, -15>
color White
spotlight
radius 6
falloff 8
tightness 10
area_light <5, 0, 0>, <0, 0, 5>, 3, 3
adaptive 1
jitter
point_at <-.7, 0, 2>
}
light_source {
<-20, 30, -3>
color Blue
spotlight
radius 4
falloff 6
tightness 10
area_light <5, 0, 0>, <0, 0, 5>, 3, 3
adaptive 1
jitter
point_at <-1, 0, 0>
}
light_source {
<20, 30, -3>
color Red
spotlight
radius 4
falloff 6
tightness 10
area_light <5, 0, 0>, <0, 0, 5>, 3, 3
adaptive 1
jitter
point_at <1, 0, 0>
}

Do you mean that Moray doesn't support lights which are spotlights and
area lights at the same time?

I didn't say you waould want to, I was merely correcting your assertion
that you *had* to use area lights.
Bye for now,
