How do I blur shadows edge

My shadow edges look too sharp. Using 3Delight, how do I blur a shadow's edge?

    If 3Delight has area lights, use those instead of point lights. Expect longer renders.

    Or use Shadow Softness.

    The default lights should have it, may be hidden. If not, do a search for lights and find the other copy of DS default lights (there's some stupid arrangement of stuff being not readily accessible).

    No need to do area light

    And if you DO use mesh lights, same usual rules as Iray apply; best to apply arealight to a single poly surface.
