Despite much hype and anticipation, a new technology claiming to produce more convincing results than PCSS has failed to deliver. 4spp RectAreaLight soft shadows, sampled with blue noise and raymarching, denoised via 6x depth-aware guassian blur was recently released but has been met with disappointment. The technology promised that it could even follow the light's rotation, as shown in demonstrations of the product. However, users have reported that this feature is unreliable and often produces inaccurate results. Furthermore, many have complained about the long rendering times associated with using this technology. Despite its potential for providing realistic lighting effects in 3D environments, 4spp RectAreaLight soft shadows has proven to be a disappointment for those who had hoped it would revolutionize the industry. While some may still find use for this technology in certain situations, it is clear that its shortcomings outweigh any potential benefits it may offer.
