I wanted to change the 'Shadow Blur Radius' for a Light which uses 'Ray Trace shadows'. But, when I set values for "SetShadowBlurRadius", this only sets the Radius for 'depth map shadows' (and not Ray Trace shadows).

I am sure I must be missing something. Any clues anyone?

import poser
scene = poser.Scene()
m = scene.CreateLight()
actor = scene.CurrentActor()
actor.SetRayTraceShadows(1)
actor.SetShadowBlurRadius(5)

Very many thanks! I am clearly suffering from PoserPython Manual reading blindness. (I do wish the Poser manuals used the same terms as appear in the GUI).

what fun would that be ? ;-)

the manual used to have a few mistakes in it that dont help.

and there are what seem to be carry overs in materials from Poser 4.
