Are shadows and shaders cast by brick lights and player lights impossible?

but you wouldn't necessarily have to re-render as many shadows because lights shouldn't travel forever like the sun

not render them, but you would have to calculate whether or not they cast a shadow, which is nearly as bad

ya but on max you need to render it 6 times, you only need to calculate once

No, you're misinformed. Stock clocks on "high end i7s" won't go above 3.5 ghz. not that it matters though, shaders are rendered by the graphics card and not the CPU. Chances are that filipe is running a smaller resolution than you, or some other indeterminate factor that does not concern the cpu

I still cant get how my computer can run max shadows at 30-60 fps. I have Core-2 quad and GTX 280.
But yea more shadow will drop many people FPS down.
