80cm x 120cm softbox for full length?

[kingfu]

Could someone please advise whether an 80cm x 120cm softbox would be large enough for full length shoots? I understand larger is better...but is this large enough?

Thanks

It will be fine, as long as you don't need the light to be ultra-soft.

Thanks garry, the largest I can get is 70x140 from this particular supplier so as ultra soft lighting isnt a requirement I think I'll go for the 80x120. Thanks for the link aswell
