Shadow Settings
|
||||
###############
|
||||
|
||||
enable shadows
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: boolean
|
||||
:Range: True/False
|
||||
:Default: False
|
||||
|
||||
Enable or disable the rendering of shadows.
|
||||
Unlike in the original Morrowind engine, 'Shadow Mapping' is used, which can have a performance impact, but has more realistic results.
|
||||
|
||||
number of shadow maps
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: integer
|
||||
:Range: 1 to 8, but higher values may conflict with other texture effects
|
||||
:Default: 1
|
||||
|
||||
Control how many shadow maps to use - more of these means each shadow map texel covers less area, producing better-looking shadows, but may decrease performance.
|
||||
Using too many shadow maps will lead to them overriding texture slots used for other effects, producing unpleasant artefacts.
|
||||
A value of three is recommended in most cases, but other values may produce better results or performance.
|
||||
|
||||
enable debug hud
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: boolean
|
||||
:Range: True/False
|
||||
:Default: False
|
||||
|
||||
Enable or disable the debug hud to see what the shadow map(s) contain.
|
||||
This setting is only recommended for developers, bug reporting and advanced users performing fine-tuning of shadow settings.
|
||||
|
||||
compute tight scene bounds
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: boolean
|
||||
:Range: True/False
|
||||
:Default: False
|
||||
|
||||
With this setting enabled, attempt to better use the shadow map(s) by making them cover a smaller area.
|
||||
This can be especially helpful when looking downwards with a high viewing distance but will be less useful with the default value.
|
||||
The performance impact of this may be very large.
|
||||
|
||||
shadow map resolution
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: integer
|
||||
:Range: Dependent on GPU/driver combination
|
||||
:Default: 1024
|
||||
|
||||
Control How large to make the shadow map(s).
|
||||
Higher values increase GPU load but can produce better-looking results.
|
||||
Power-of-two values may turn out to be faster than smaller values which are not powers of two on some GPU/driver combinations.
|
||||
|
||||
actor shadows
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: boolean
|
||||
:Range: True/False
|
||||
:Default: False
|
||||
|
||||
Allow actors to cast shadows.
|
||||
Potentially decreases performance.
|
||||
|
||||
player shadows
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: boolean
|
||||
:Range: True/False
|
||||
:Default: False
|
||||
|
||||
Allow the player to cast shadows.
|
||||
Potentially decreases performance.
|
||||
|
||||
terrain shadows
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
:Type: boolean
|
||||
:Range: True/False
|
||||
:Default: False
|
||||
|
||||
Allow terrain to cast shadows.
|
||||
Potentially decreases performance.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Right now, there is no setting allowing toggling of shadows for statics
