Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.05.31 05:32:00 - [1] Originally by: Blane Xero Originally by: Naradak Wouldn't it be cool to have more shadows? To not see the dark side of your ship so brightly? Have you seen the shadow effect in EVE? I keep shadows disabled because it is **ing horrible. Have you tried it since the patch? They look like shadows now instead of jagged blobs of dark moving around on your hull. It also seems ships no longer cast shadows on other structures or ships anymore.

The jagged lines are from the lack of anti-aliasing. So CCP, when are you gonna implement aa so I don't have to keep forcing it through nhancer? I don't think you are understanding how absolutely awful shadows used to look before this patch. No amount of aa in the world would have made them look good. The new ones look good even without aa as they are actual cast shadows instead of a spikey, jaggy amorphous blob of black. Also there is no performance hit for turning them on that I can see.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.05.31 18:37:00 - [4] Originally by: Crumplecorn I've noticed no change in the shadows. Really? Granted I haven't had them turned on since before the dominion patch but I distinctly remember them being utter crap and performance hogs.

Really? Granted I haven't had them turned on since before the dominion patch but I distinctly remember them being utter crap and performance hogs. I've had them on since day 1, they always looked fine to me, and never caused me any issues. They might be better now, a bit less jaggy maybe, I'm not sure. But essentially the same. Well when they were first released they looked absolutely **ing awesome. Both the shadows cast on your ship and the one projected on any objects were all sharply defined and fluid. Then they were mysteriously replaced with a low resolution blob version that looked terrible on both the ship and any objects they were cast on. Maybe that unfortunate phase of shadow history was when you took your vacation from eve? Either way they are back to looking quite good from my point of view. Also to finally but in an opinion about the op. you don't get pure black darkness on the shadowed side of the ship due to all the ambiant lighting from distant nebula and any close celestial object reflecting the light from the sun. Much like on a full moon night it is rather easy to see things. Originally by:** CCP Zymurgist Get off the forums and go kill someone!
