The most important feature in EVE.
Oh wait 99% of players disable shadows in their client because just slowing their VGA speed ...
Maybe this is the useless CQ part 2. |

If your computer is so bad you need to disable the shadows due to rendering speed, it might be time to shell out $15 to upgrade. |

yay more prettiness that i can't see because my GPU sux. I haven't had high level shadows on for a while so I won't miss this either...how bout some game improvements vs pretty stuff? Pretty is nice, but honestly, if you got a good game it doesn't matter what it looks like. Look at half the iPhone apps out there. They look like garbage but people still play them...
Fix broke stuff before you go make new stuff that'll break please.... |

Looking good, but I'd like to see an image of a frigate or other ship casting a shadow on a gate, so I know whether I'll want to re-enable shadows. |

Awesome, especially if it is true about minimal impact on performance. It's not often I take the time to look at shadows but nice all the same. I would be lying if I said I never look at the ships closely. Does this mean that ship textures are possibly getting upgraded soon as well. I hope so:)
Thanks CCP

Shadows on Large Objects like Stations, Asteroids, Gates, etc. Does this mean we get rid of the ugly dark blocks? Someone please tell me if this doesn't fix that, this is something that's being worked on and why you can't fix it??? Checked it on sisi and those blocks are gone http://s7.directupload.net/images/111101/w6xwzvss.jpgOn the right side you can see the shadow of my muninn on the gate.

Outstanding job CCP. The attention put to little details is what makes a game great even if most player never notice it and just say, look at EVE it looks awesome! Add up all the upcoming changes hinted in the winter expansion and I just might get another account.

Very, very well done to do this without increasing CPU/GPU load at all. Reminds me of how great the new textures were when they came out, even though they're only on a few ships >.<
SO ready to quit seeing blocky shadows on gates that look like they're from 2003.

Realy ? I think i need to changel my i7 2600k computer and my dual 6950 VGA because you told it.
Maybe i need turning off my hangar view over CQ, or i need to turning on shadows, because that's it the most important options in Eve client. Oh wait what about with the new GUI what CCP promised at least 1 years ago ? But shadows is important things. LOL
Just need a statistic how many player using CQ, how many user using sound, how many user using shadows. I think you would be surprized, because bigger part of Eve player base who dont using them, because those options so useless. |

That pic someone posted of their ship shadow on a gate looks great. even the gate looks better.
i play with max settings on my i5-2400 w/ GTX 560 so any chance to give my computer a work out is welcome.
it's amazing, if you fix a bunch of little things, it can add up to some big improvements overall. |

It's called a quick win! They improve overall fidelity in the game for those that dont turn off things that have little to no impact, and improve overall quality visually...
Now redoing the entire UI is a big step requiring a lot of work and testing etc... so ya of course they put that off till later, winter is about quick wins to get eve moving forward again with lots and lots of small things... stop being such a bunghole |

I tested the current sisi build. I noticed two things:
- while the shadows are much better, ship shadows cast on stations don't glide smoothly, they jump from (filtered) pixel to pixel, which is a flaw inherent to the technique used ofc.
- probably not related to shadows at all: Camera movement smoothing is borked, it is very jerky, no matter what interval, or other setting is used.
I remember that quite a while ago, IIRC it was around initial Quantum Rise deployment, you used polygon based shadows for a couple of patches until switching to the current pixel map based ones. What prompted you to change? |

I play on a laptop. dual boxing with all graphic options on max (except post production - it makes things look green) at 1920x1024 and frame rate is pinned at 60 fps. Its a nice laptop, but still. Somehow I doubt 99% of folks are turning everything off.
so, sound on, shadows on, antialiasing on, high shaders on . . . And its just an intel quad core running at 2k.
