I did a render using raytracing for the first time rather than the usual depth map shadows. But i'm having a problem with shadows on people's body. The shadow is too sharp and it looks kind of unnatural in a way. When i use depth map shadows, they come out nice and blurry on the human body and look natural. Is this how raytraced shadows are supposed to look like, or am i doing something wrong? How do i fix the shadows to blend in the skin better with raytracing?

There's two pictures here. The first one shows what i'm talking about with a render of michael 4. The second one shows my light positions, light settings, and render settings. Note that this also happens at max render settings. I'm using poser pro 2012.

Would appreciate any help on this.
