17.15.4.1. Shades

Allows you to set the parameters of shadow generation in real time.

Enable/disable shadows in real time.

Set the resolution of the shadow maps:

· Height (4096 x 4096)

· Medium (2048 x 2048)

· Low (1024 x 1024)

Shadow intensity. At minimum there would be no shadows, at maximum the shadow parts would have only ambient light.

Shadow Edge Smoothing Radius:

§ No smoothing

§ Softened 1 (default)

§ Softened 1.5

Controls the reduction of “Light bleeding”. This artifact can be seen at the point of contact of two elements, the shadow appears "detached" from the surface.

§ With “bleeding”

§ Without “bleeding”

From what value is it considered that there is a shadow. If it is too low, visual artifacts may appear. Too high makes bleeding worse.

§ Threshold too low

§ Suitable threshold

§ Threshold too high (bleeding gets worse)

Resets shadow parameters to their default values.
