Better Shadows

[DudeAwesome]

I created a Light with

 

self.light = DirectionalLight:Create()

self.light:SetRotation(25,25,0)

 

 

how can I increase the quality of the shadows the light drop behind models? my shadows looks very bad. I also have a simple DaynNight System that just rotate my Lights x and y in the mainloop like

 

 

function App:UpdateDaynNight()

self.lightx = (self.lightx+0.009) % 360

self.lighty = (self.lighty+0.005) % 360

self.light:SetRotation(self.lightx, self.lighty, self.lightz)

end

 

 

but my shadows are not smooth. they are shaking a little bit

This may not be the answer but try setting a higher MSAA level with this:

this command doesnt work in lua for some reason

higher msaa will increase the whole camera I guess? but I only would like to increase the shadows with some kind of msaa not the other stuff like my models

You can set shadow quality in options.

I cant find the command for the quality options in the command reference

in the editor goto TOOLS->Options

mhmm so there is no solution like

 

 

Light:SetShadowMultiSamplingMode(int x)

There is no way to increase the shadowmap resolution through the API right now. And the level set in the editor does not reflect in the runtime version.

Mhmm is it just me or do you welcome something like this too ? So maybe a mod could move this thread to the Suggestion subforum.
