Shadow detail

by Mark Fearon · in Torque Game Engine · 06/13/2004 (2:01 am) · 5 replies

Is there a way of setting the detail of the shadows? i dont mind if it takes a long time to create them but i was wondering if this was configureable?

Thanks

Like on the terrain or interiors? That would be a case of increasing the lightmap size, it has been discussed before somewhere, not a simple case of changing number though I think.

Yes on both is that a very hard thing to do? sorry for being a complete newbie.

There's also a stencil shadow resource out there... didn't try it, but it looked pretty good. That approach would have an effect on the fps tough.

In your .MAP file, locate the lign
"light_geometry_scale" "32.0"
Change the number of any power of 2, knowing that the lower the number is, the higher shadow quality is.
