Hi

I was browsing Evolveds site, www.evolved-software.com, and was gonna download a shadow shader..

After clicking Shaders -> Shadowing I had a brain-melt-down :3

Which of the three shaders gives the best performance? which lookes nicest? which one is the easy-to-use?

Keep it simple.
Questions? Mail me

They all are just three examples of a lighting system he created, called Advanced Lighting...download the advanced lighting system, it works really well, but be aware that it only runs well on high-end computers.

There are some simpler shaders he made that don't require the 'Advanced lightning' system.

I think they render pretty quick all three of them. And, their 'ease of use' is equal, IMO. Which one looks nicest depends on your own preferences and the sort of game you're planning to make with them.

Cheers

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!

What thenerd said, they do eat your fps if you start having multiple complex objects. You might have to edit them to decrease the quality to get faster rendering time.

If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

I suggest giving it a try, or look for another shadow shader in the forums.
