    When using hard shadows I have a problem with objects fading in. I use a Display tag and fade the object in but the Shadow POPs on at the first frame of the fade rather than fading up along with the object. It is a full shadow from the first frame.

    I have tried adjusting the Ray depth in the Options render dialogue along with the Shadow depth but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks

    You’ll either have to use soft shadows or animate material transparency rather than the display tag.
