...shadowmaps or the ray- tracing / Ray Cast method . Which type you choose depends on several factors , including accuracy of the shadows , render times , and personal preference . Right- clicking on the Shadow Casting button in the Light[…]
The engine is based on zero-precompilation philosophy - all map data is interpreted dynamically, with no need to recalculate such asshadowmaps or BSP data.
