Could it be that the effect of the sun softness parameter changes from version 2.1-> 2.2 ?

I get some different result with new version. The shadow quality looks more splotchy. Is it in version 2.2 still usefull to use the command mportancegammamultiplier 1.1;?

thx

There was one change with sun softness - you can now control the "graininess" of the shadow through Kray Quality Tab - Area light min/max controls.

You can still use importancegammamultiplier command if you want.

For me it seems that the shadow get more soft too. And to get the graininess under control i have to increase the min recursion for area light quality from 2 -> 3. But this means much more render time for whole image.
I think for my current project i will switch back to old version.

I could separate min/max recursions for Physical Sun from the rest but this means more controls inside KrayPhySky panel where there's already lots of controls. If more users request this then I'll change it.

Help !
the new version bug in the sun shadows !!
And more dark shadows in all zone!!

Read my post above.

Yes please, change it, having longer rendertimes for the same result is not good.
