Hey, thanks for the reply. That is a great suggestion you have there, I will try that out too - don't know why I never thought of it.

My solution does not give soft shadows itself, merely pale shadows, so probably not much different to the shadow intensity you suggested.

However...

I have succeeded in getting soft shadows by using the "shadow buffer" mode in the EFFECTS tab of the Light properties.

The alternative is to tick the "enable soft shadows" box if you want to use Raytraced shadows. Though shadow buffer tends to render faster than raytraced soft shadows, raytraced is no doubt more accurate.
