Hi All,
I am trying to get some solid dark shadows. The best i can get is a soft light shadow. I have played around with the hight and direction and intesity of both environmental and directional lighting but can't work it out. It always looks ok until i hit render preview and then the shadow reatreats back to something subtle.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks.

Tom.

    the basics: shadow = Light + surface

    Hard shadow = single light, soft shadow = more than 1 light... other factors like distance can adjust the look

     

    I assume you want hard shadows so take a look at this i.e, strong [sun] light + short distance to mat surface
