HL2 can, too. But I like HL2 better because you can see the shadows for most of the game, unlike D3 which is very dark for most of the game.

Yea I've seen this before on other forums, while you can't play the game like this, there is a few things you type in the console so that when you take a screenshot, the screenshot appears to have soft shadows even though they don't show up in gameplay.

Max Payne 2 has the best shadows.

Nice. Does it hit your performance a lot though? I'm just glad that they improved upon the already awesome lighting effects, whoever it was.


nope doesn't hit my performance

bind "k" "r_lighsourceradius 1; screenshot 1024 768 128; r_lightsourceradius 0"

since it's only a screenshot trick

but hey it is useful... for modders and such just remove the lightsource radius stuff and this fakes AA quite effectively... and i'd say people using AA could get cleaner screenshots of maps with this

you may notice the lack of jaggies in my shots... i run without any AA because even 2x kills my framerate in doom3

tofu... don't crap on my thread... i don't like max payne 2's shadows better than doom3's because they only follow one lightsource sure they look nice but compared to doom3 no... i'll take dynamic hardedges multiple light source shadows over that

Cool..I guess..but it still looks like everything is coated in saran wrap.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

And/or Wax. The people never looked that great to me.
