Hi, im rendering a shot, were a tin soldier walks on a shelf. I put a directional light on him and turned ray trace shadows on. Works fine, but how could I feather them? Id like them to be nice and crisp while they are close to his body, but they should fade in the distance. I played around with the Shadow rays and ray depth limit. Also with the options you have in render globals, with no effect though.

If anyone knows please let me know

thanks.
