Shadows don’t diffuse when rendering in OpenGl
Ok, I just got my 8800 drivers updated so AE now works in OpenGL. This thing smokes! 6 sec. OpenGL renders that take software renders 3 min.
My last hurdle to overcome is now diffused shadows in OpenGL renders come out hard edged. Light falloff looks great but the shadows go hard. Of course everything works in software renders but those renders take exponentially longer.
I suspect I might be able to override software settings in the nVida control panel. I tried tinkering around a little bit but came up with nothing. If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, the help would be much appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Yeah, I was really hoping they had made up some ground since version 7. I figured things were hopeless. I assume there aren’t any plugins that use their own lights that do support opengl? (i.e. Zaxwerks Invigirator Pro) Looks like C4D will continue to do all my heavy lifting. You’d think that Adobe would be a little more pro-active about getting stuff like this fixed now that they have Motion nipping at their heals.

Oh totally, that was the first box I checked in preferences after I installed CS3. I also installed a script I got on Adobe exchange that allows me to continue working while rendering. No need for Nucleo, which everyone tells me is buggy as all get out with CS3.
