Access Light Shadow Settings

Select a light in the Light Editor and open its properties panel. Look for shadow-related options such as shadow softness, shadow distance, or shadow quality.

Control Shadow Softness

Increase the softness value to create blurred, realistic shadows that fade gradually at their edges. Decrease softness for sharp, defined shadows. Soft shadows look more natural and cinematic, while hard shadows create dramatic, high-contrast effects.

Optimize Shadow Performance

Shadow quality affects frame rate. If performance drops, reduce the shadow resolution or distance. Shadows that extend too far can impact gameplay performance unnecessarily. Limit shadow distance to the area players will actually see.
