Hi there,

I have posted an image on the images group, and my quesiton is how can I
make the edges of the shadows softer?  Right now, the image is just
compromised of three point lights.   Will area lights do the trick?  Is
there a simpler solution?

Thanks for your help,
Arie

  First you ask a question and then you answer it... ;)

:  Is there a simpler solution?

  Simpler than using an area light? Are area lights complicated?
