Community Shaders feature which adds screen-space shadows, enabling grass, map, distant and self-shadows.
The performance impact of this effect is relatively high, so you may lose 3 fps if not more. It will be optimised further in the future.
This is the most complex feature I have released so far. It makes use of a custom raymarching algorithm, compute shaders, and new textures/render targets.
Lots of variables are tweakable in the CS settings menu.
Compatible with the Skyrim Upscaler if you struggle with performance.
FEATURES
Self-Shadows
Objects cast sharp shadows onto themselves, which is primarily visible on the character models. Eyes are ignored, so no ENB eye fixes are required at all:
Near Shadows
Objects within the true shadow distance cast small shadows which adds grass shadows.
Far Shadows
Objects past the true shadows distance cast wide, blurry shadows to simulate distant shadows:
Map Shadows
The world map now receives shadows which change depending on sun angle:
REQUIREMENTS
Community Shaders
Grass Lighting ( updated to support this mod )
