shadows
Is there a general rule that the bigger your model, the higher the depth map resolution needs to be.
I have a massive model of an aircraft carrier and the Dmap is over 3ooo, and the shadows are still naf. I can go down to 512 if I scale the model down to about the size of my grid.
So bigger the model, higher the Dmap?
cheers

try playing with the filter size aswell that should improve your shadows a bit

I got many lights on my Andrea Gail project. Currently I'm adding lights inside the cockpit. I've found out that a resolution of 64 and filter size of 2 is enough for these lights (frame resolution is 720x432)...

The shadows only improve the higher I have the Dmap. But I cant go any higher then 4000 as the computer cant handle it.
