Hello Sassi
I understand your concern with soft shadows, but I would like to ask about an example where I can’t get the result I want without them.
See the project below, a single spotlight set as shadow catcher, and a plant in front of a plane. With area shadows the shadow is to blobby, impossible to read. With hard shadows it is not even worth mentioning. But with soft shadows it start looking like the shadow of a plant on a wall.
What am I doing wrong with the area shadow option?
