Jagged shadows on people with Soft Shadows off

Open forealdo25 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I've heard how having Soft Shadows on can cause shadows artifacts, and for some shadows to disappear entirely. So I thought I'd play with them off. However, I noticed that that causes shadows cast on people to be really jagged looking.

Do you have "Half Lambert Lighting" set to enabled? If so, try turning it off.

I also noticed the extremely jagged shadows with soft shadows disabled, but when I disabled "Half Lambert Lighting", the shadows return to their original Doom 3 look.

Have you try the latest nightly builds? I have disable the self shadows on stencil shadows and now they should look how they used to

Hey everyone. Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I just decided to play Doom 3 without a source port a while ago, so I'm not in a position to really try your fixes. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the response and sorry for been too slow to attemp to fix the issue. I will close that issue since the culprit for the reported issue (self-shadows) is no longer enabled by default and the stencil shadows look like how they were supposed to be
