2012/02/05 - Shadows and Shaders vs. Interiors and Terrain [Fan Art Too]

[Crysist]

Kompressor, the shadows in the pictures on the main post are slightly blurred (not the out of focus areas) yet on Jirue's save's shadows look like they form sharp lines, why is this?

Because shadowmapping is an approximation not an exact solution. -- kompressor

So, will all the saves on BL be moved to Slate, or will it be left how it is?

You can load stuff from other maps on slate, or simply copy the contents of each of the save folders.

Lots of work to be done.


I highly support this, not that it matters, it will be implemented weather I like it or not.

I give it one thumb up. Not great for kids but OK for its niche.

Glad to know my input is being read.  Thanks.

Will global lighting affect enclosed areas? Because I build a box, and it's usually still bright inside, as on the outside. Will the shadow system fix this?

Bricks will cast shadows.

[SWAT One]

So there will only be one "level" of darkness, an abrupt line drawn between the brightness outside and the darkness inside? Still very cool though.

Will brick lights work better in the update too, or will they still be visible on the backside of bricks the light only hours from the front?

Question remains unanswered except for Kom saying it could be possible once the initial v21 update is released.
