Making drop shadow edges soft?

Engaged ,

Jambo!

What is the proper way to create soft drop shadow edges instead of razor-sharp ones?

I seem to remember that in versions 3.x there was a »Cloudiness« ruler to do that, but that was available for »Sun« light only?

So how to do that in case of »Glow« light sources, with version 4.0.2?

Thanks

Also, I am not using Ground Plane in the given project.

Environment Lighting:

Use the image-based lighting layer system to create custom environment lighting. Environment lights evenly illuminate all objects in the scene, regardless of their size or position.

Objects can’t get closer to, further from, or behind the environment light, ensuring consistent ligh....

Emissive Materials:

Turn any object into a light source using emissive materialsThis is useful for practical purposes (e.g., making buttons glow) or creative effects (e.g., lumines....

Sun Light Cloudiness:

Adjust the cloudiness value for the sun. Low cloudiness produces hard-edged, crisp shadows, while high cloudiness disperses sunlight through ...
