      My shadows are not very sharp even though the HDR image has a sun directly overhead like in the tutorial. I tried increasing the strength but it still has soft shadows. Please see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaJiZTw6I1E

        Hey, you could try adding a gamma node and increasing it a bit. You could also try using a higher quality HDRi with more EV stops, that will probably make the biggest difference. Also double check that Multiple Importance Sampling is turned on under the environment settings and set to something like 1024 or 2048. Hope that helps!
