Thank you I had no idea you could do this.

We have disabled the adaptive detail adjustment for VW 2023 SP5. It will be investigated further for VW 2024. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there any date when this will be available?

I had something similar happen yesterday. I had just run the newest package update from VW 2023. All the ovals I created rendered as diamond shapes in sheet renders. It didn't matter if I rendered Fast Renderworks, Shaded, or Final Renderworks. I ended up converting the ovals to nurbs and they rendered correctly. Not ideal but I was in a bind to get the project finished.

My recommendation is not to add to the scene more light than needed. Turn off global illumination and let the light sources fill the room and adjust their power as needed. When done, if you feel like the rendering is too dark then make use of image effects, that brings the colors and contrast to life.

Thank you for the advice. I will try that.

Looks to me like ambient occlusion is cranked right up - this may be contributing to some of the 'shadow' you see.

I will check that out. Thanks!

Soft shadows is one of the settings on any light object. We can choose from sharp - smooth - realistic. I tend to stay on smooth. Here is a sample of the three types of shadows plus a test with a custom light.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the soft shadow settings on lights, my issue seems to be when the light hits an object the shadow cast from the object is too hard if that makes sense. The previous interior example you have is perfect, with the shadows under your chairs being soft and fading out. I am very new to Vectorworks and I am still trying to find my way around.

These are three samples of what I typically use for presenting renderings. A nice artistic pencil sketch style, white model, final rendering style including camera effects.

I have been trying to learn how to create soft shadows like this for weeks. I.E. the shadows under the chairs… is there a a video anywhere or a file I can dissect to learn how to do this? This is beautiful.
