This is excelling information especially about the Bias control.
I imagined there was a purpose but assumed it was for the sae of variance with different cards and rendering etc. I use it to make the shadows look how I personally want them. :)
I didnt realise the technicality behind it.
A good educational post! Very grateful.

Hello everyone,

I'm surprised that no one mentioned that drop shadows and wall shadows are back. Thanks REallusion, im sure you made a lot of people happy here. :)



Also, I updated the shadow guide to make sure people know about it and what they do.



enjoy!

Thanks stuckon3d

My icloning hasn`t really advanced to thinking of the "Shadows" stage yet but I`m always keen to learn from the forum.

I was really interested in your suggestion
Set your desktop resolution lower if you have an old video card or machine

I use an older PC with modest spec. If feel very lucky that so far ,I haven`t experienced some of the display problems other have had. I did have a high number of crashes initially but this seemed to improve when I reduced the default undo setting from 20 to 5.

I`ve just experimented with lowering my desktop resolution settings and can confirm that it does make a considerable difference to the frame rate playback for me. It will be much easier now to work on a scene with more that just a few props and a single character.

Really appreciate this excellent piece of advice.

Yes, great, thank you
