Lost in the shadows // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by btspro // Jan 13, 2007, 10:28am btspro Total Posts: 45 I am trying to make the shadows smoother in the player window HOW is this done.:confused: Post by Bobbins // Jan 13, 2007, 10:38am Bobbins Total Posts: 506 - Go to the Preferences view in the stack - Check the tickbox for Lights in the Link Editor section - Locate the the light in the Link Editor - Go to the Expanded or Advanced aspect for the light - Increase the Map Size value This needs to be done for each light. Increasing the map size also decreases performance in the Player workspace - it will get more sluggish with increased shadow quality.

Exactly - that's hardware dependant. Does nothing on my graphics card, but increasing the shadow map size works on all systems. Post by splinters // Jan 13, 2007, 12:04pm splinters Total Posts: 4148 I think it needs to be Pixelshader 2.1. I have a Radeon 9800 Pro which I believe is PS 2.0 and there is no shadow filtering yet with a lowly 6100 inbuilt graphics chipset on another PC I get all bells and whistles....progress eh?
