Okay, I've seen this problem a bit before, but always on figures that were small enough that it didn't matter.  This time, I'm working on a render that's mostly a face.  And the hair (and hood).

So, it's important that the shadows don't look blotchy.

You can see the problem on the shadow falling across the closed eye on the lefthand side of the figure's face.

How do I solve this?

I think I might have used some kind of shadow blur on previous similar situation, but I'd rather keep an edge -- if I can.

I'm running Poser 7 SP3 and using the standard firefly settings.  (I didn't want to try a realskin shader and custom settings until I figured out how to solve this -- though I might try that before I hear back.)

As always, any help appreciated.
