All baked shadows on transluscent materials are extremely sharp, no matter how large the lightmap resolution for the object is. This only appears to happen when the translucency lighting mode in the material is set ot surface forward shading. I’ve tried playing around with the other material paramet…

I figured it out! Apparently soft shadows on forward shaded, translucent materials only work with STATIC lights, stationary lights are not supported. This was a real head-scratcher for me yesterday. thatnks for the tip :slight_smile:

I’m making a note of it for forward shading limitations.
