Using the daylight system for an interior along with sky portals, FG and p/graphic exposure. all is fine . . . for now.

However i have some problems, i want to do some volumetric lighting without changing my light setup and i want it to affect the light near the window only.

i also wanted some softer shadows, i see there is a setting for this in the daylight sytem rollout but what is a good value, i've tried 5 with samples set to 64 yet the shadows from the window didn't seem to change

oh also the transparency setting on the sky portals is an absolute gem. Such a neat little trick, and if you aren't sure what i'm talking about then ask and i will post some pictures up demonstrating the value of the transparency setting (thanks to Zap for the tip)
