solved Blur shadows less as object gets closer to where shadow is hitting?

Lift your arm high over your table if you're inside, and bring it down towards the surface. As you do this, the shadow becomes more in focus, and more crisp. I'm wondering if it's possible to replicate this behaviour using the shadow maps or not. I have a setup fairly similar to the example here: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#IIZ9UU.

But even when you toy with the Y position of the torus in that example, the shadow keeps the same level of blur, regardless of distance from light.

The blur is independent from the distance but we plan to add contact hardening shadows for 3.1

In the meantime you could think about increasing the blur manually based on distance?

[agmcleod]

Ahh good to know. Adjusting the blur would apply to whole shadow map eh?

Btw thanks for replying to all my questions. You're a champ on here.

[GameMonetize]

yes it will apply to the whole map but it could be enough depending on the object

[agmcleod]

i'll try it to keep simple, or maybe average it. I'm applying to two cubes moving independently.

[agmcleod]

That did the trick. The shadows dont look as good when the cubes are higher up as they did. But it works well enough for this purpose. I'll check out 3.1 changes once they come. Thanks again.

You rock!
