The Controls tab contains all the primary controls necessary for customizing the shadow
appearance.
Shadow Offset
This control sets the X and Y position of the shadow. When the Shadow node is selected, you
can also adjust the position of the Shadow Offset using the crosshair in the viewer.
Softness
Softness controls how blurry the shadow’s edges appear.
Shadow Color
Use this control to select the color of the shadow. The most realistic shadows are usually not
totally black and razor sharp.
Light Position
This control sets the position of the light relative to the shadow-casting object. The Light
Position is only taken into consideration when the Light Distance slider is not set to infinity (1.0).
Light Distance
This slider varies the apparent distance of the light between infinity (1.0) and zero distance from
the shadow-casting object. The advantage of setting the Light Distance is that the resulting
shadow is more realistic-looking, with the further parts of the shadow being longer than those
that are closer.
