5.112: Reduce, reuse, re-Evee.. Cycle

[Zangk]

Here are my basic lamp Evee and Cycles light setups.

1. Cycles
   

   

2. Evee
   

   

I noticed in my Version of Blender, 2.91, I that I could not adjust the shadow softness. There is an option in the render settings, but it is only a tick box rather than a scaling bar. It seems that I must either have too soft of shadows, or have a cartoony abstract shadow. But the second option does not bother me, I kind of like it.

The good news is with CyclesX coming through we may be able to abandon Eevee!

Soon be making the real Lamp now!

I downloaded the blender 2.92 and the cycles was running faster.

The size of the lamp makes the shadow softer.
Point lamps are ‘pointy’.

Point lamps are ‘pointy’.

That is a good way to think about it
