Sharp Shadows

[Sampdoria]

Hello people, simple question - how can I get sharp shadows like in AR3. Right now, we get some nice fluffy shadows from lets say - a plant or bush splashing a shadow on the wall from a low sun which is great but some clients need sharp shadows.

Thanks!

For direct sun shadows the best you can do is make sure the Cloudiness is set to 0.0.  

The very soft stuff you're seeing is likely caused by the sky hemisphere.  This component gets large compared to the direct sun when the sun angle is low (the sky can actually be brighter than the sun under these conditions.)  If you want to play a little, put the sky and the sun on separate channels and turn the sky down (or the sun up.)  You'll get a really crappy simulation of the actual daylight conditions but it may get a little closer to what you're looking for.

Thanks for the tips Roy. Let me try them out!
