| Aug 27, 2020 at 15:46 | comment | added | moonboots | you can use the blend value to make the shadows less sharp, are you working with cycles or eevee? maybe share your file (just leave one object, the plane and the lights) | |
| Aug 27, 2020 at 15:42 | comment | added | Sujan Sundareswaran | Yup. But then the shadows get sharp and angular, unlike the softer ones in the reference image. | |
