That makes some sense... my current questions revolve around controlling the anti-aliasing. If you get 'crisp' shadows with a 256 map size by adjusting the ShadowCamera scaling as you suggest here, how do you get 'blurry' ones again? ;). Without mucking with the scaling, 256 size maps usually produce much blurrier shadows than say a 1024 or 2048 size map. I guess you can adjust the scaling and map size to get what you're looking for (up to a point). I'll play around with this some later.
