New Features

4. Lights and shadows now have individual parameters to embolden shadow darkness.
  • Problem: Multiple sources of lighting in the scene can cause the shadows to weaken and become shallow.
  • Solution: Now there is a Light > Shadow > Darkness parameter that can be used to bring back some depth in the shadow areas. Also, under Visual > Shadow panel, there's a new slider called Global Darkness Multiplier that is globally applied to all shadows in the scene.
