Quote - Thank you! That helped the edges a bit, but does the shadowing on his skin look normal and natural? Or is there something else i need to do. Depth map shadows seem to do well, but everyone keeps telling me ray traced shadows are better, so i'm trying to learn how to use them properly.

If you look at the hip-area of your figure: The shadows there look much softer than on the other bodyparts, where they look a bit harsh (somewhat cartoonish i would say). So my guess is that your problem lies not in the lights and shadows, but in the materials. Compare the material of the hip (called 2_SkinHip for michael4) and the other materials; perhaps there is some suspicious color-ramp node or something like that in there.
