#27 Soft Shadows/Soft Reflections

[Anonymous]

Remember Voodoo4/5/6? :-)
Actually, all these shadows look great, but to look
more realistic, they need some kind of smearing,
blurring and/or fading, or as 3dfx coined, "soft" look...
Taking this picture as an example:

Check how perfect those shadows are... It wasnt
supposed to be like that, they should blur and fade
according to the distance and the light source or
something....

Notice im NOT complaining about the shadows, they're
great and i love them, im just asking for a bit of
improvement, or "refinement" :-)
