Hey all, I’m struggling to optimise my shadows to get a good balance between quality and performance… The problem I am encountering is all about draw distance. I have made a quick video to show you what I mean.

basicly… once the quality starts hitting the type of levels I of detail I want… the draw distance comes right in and makes the thing look terrible
am I missing a setting somewhere? cheers
Medium or High Resolution Shadows and/or Soft Shadows should fix the problem, if you’re wanting to set an optimised lower quality setting I’d personally have realtime shadows turned off and use a traditional Blob shadow at the lower quality levels.
ahh yes I see… I think I’ll try out using blob shadows… cheers
I doubt anyone would notice a blob shadow. If given the option shadows are one of the first things most power gamers turn off anyhow, right after disabling the music!
