    Hi,

    I’m pretty new to C4D, just wondering how I remove shadow entirely? or how I might go about softening them – as seen in the images that I’ve attached:

    Thanks,
    Ollie

    depends on the setup and where lights are etc. but the simple answer is to add a light that has Ambient Illumination checked in the light’s General tab. That assumes either the Standard or Physical renderers. Otherwise you can enable GI but that depends on the materials and other sources of illumination and takes longer to render
