Title: Shadow draw distance question
Post by: emi_100 on May 19, 2020, 01:18:15 pm

Question:
I know there is a -shadow_quality flag but 
is there is any flag to incresee the shadow distance draw?

The way we do shadow rendering should not need an increase of the shadow draw distance since it manages that itself. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks for the answer.

I'm notice that in very large objects, the shadow disappear in the distance.

Only when the camera get closer, the shadow appears. That's why I wanna increase the shadow draw distance

Did you try that only in F3 lab or in-mission? I know it's supposed to be pretty much like a normal mission there now, but I wouldn't rely 100% on that.
