CineRender Shadow very grainy

Anonymous

Hi,

I've only just started using the Archicad render a couple of days ago.
While it shows a lot of promises i am struggling a bit trying to get the right setting. One issue i am having is with shadow casting. I've done a few test renders and they all have very grainy shadows. Would anyone know how to set the shadow quality up? I tried fiddling with minimum and maximum samples under the shadow casting setting, but didn't really fix the problem..

Please see the attached examples below.

Thanks in advance

If you are talking about the shadow on the ground from the rafters then does the ground slab have a material that has a bumpy texture with the displacement turned on for that material?

Hi barry, thanks for the quick response. the ground material is just smooth concrete.

all shadows seems to be grainy not just one on ground..
