I think some shade-c values are affected by the clip-values and they probably don't update automatically if you change clip_far manually.

alibaba@ try to update the shadec by calling sc_setup

a quick question: are the shade-c 0.91 shadows faster than the default pssm shadows of 3dgs (what I modified to be faster, but still not enough), in case of a lot of objects? if I read well it uses deferred shading.

sivan@ it was very fast for me, when I got it to work with A8 (long time ago, but I've lost the demo), but the problem was that it weren't supporting alpha textures (f.e. trees etc).

Neither does the standard PSSM shader

thanks, I will check what it knows. trees can be excluded and have a static lightmap until I keep them in non-destructible category.
I'm sure finally I will need a deferred renderer to handle my targets: 1000 moving units, 1000 trees and 100 building entities, far camera views. curretnly I can produce acceptable results only with stencil shadows for units and buildings, and lightmap or decal shadows for others...

the standard pssm do not support only self shadows on alpha textures, but creates alpha supoorted shadows on other objects. is it the situation with shade-c 0.91 too?

I far as I remember (it was a long time ago as I've said), it wasn't supporting alpha channel in anyways.

thanks. I will add it

it's strange.. but I guess I got alpha channel to work as well (they were working from the beginning I guess)

Damn.. shade-c rocks so much! BoH_Havoc you are the MAN! You know, we all love you!

Edit: as you can see, self shadow supports alpha channel as well!

wow. what version is it, 0.91 or evo?
