- I have a not-so-classic space scene being rendered at this time
- and I am having a hard time getting shadows to look/work
- correct/ly.
-
- I am using a spot light with a huge shadow map (2048) being cast rather
- tightly on a LARGE (500m) space craft. Problem is, shadows move and
- blend all over the edges rather strangely. The shimmer a lot.
- I've turned off "Self Shadow" for everything (I thought this was
- a problem only for ray tracing--this is also the reason I'm
- avoiding tracing shadows).
-
- Has anyone experienced this?
-
- What should I do? Raytrace w/o self shadow? Smaller maps?
-
- I also have two A4000's rendering this project. 3.5 Toaster
- and 3.5SA. Is there any reason one would render differently
- than the other thus causing a shimmer as each computer's results
- are slightly different?
-
- Thanks for any help!
