KonanTenshi Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hello, sorry if this is a confusing topic/ already asked, just hint me to the answered/old thread if there is one! I've installed a dozen of mods recently and I'm v. happy with the result of them, the shadow looks PERFECT everywhere except on my character where it looks really shitty http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1154296334509534136/46FAB8EB928DCD96085B31D9EBDFB5C9167C0C55/ Not sure if you really see the issue on that picture but I've searched a lil bit and it's kind of like the shadow striping glitch, instead the shadow is BIG pixel boxes T_T sadness me a lot and wonder if there is any easy and quick ways to solve it. Love OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackNitro Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The boxiness is dependant on your shadow resolutions. This can be adjusted in Documents\My Games\SkyrimPrefs.ini by changing these parameters: iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096 (Note: It might just be one single iShadowMapResolution= parameter.) Change the number(s) to one of these three: 1024 [lowest quality], 2048 [medium], or 4096 [highest]. However, you'll need a very good system for this, as shadow maps eat up system resources like nothing else. If you want a less taxing solution, you can adjust this parameter instead: iBlurDeferredShadowMask=5 This determines how blurry the shadow edges are. Set it to a number between 1 and 7. 1 is the sharpest, 7 is the blurriest. Some people prefer sharper shadows, but a number of 5+ can really help hide those jagged edges. If you get , on the other hand, just google "shadow striping fix". There's about a thousand different methods I've come across for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonanTenshi Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks a lot, didn't fix it but deffo improved it a bit. I think it might be because I have UNP bodies installed T_T it's no game ruiner so I guess I'll have to life with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackNitro Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 To be honest, the shadows on your character don't look all that bad. But if you want flawless shadows, here's something you could try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonanTenshi Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hmm okay (: just noticed I'm not the only one having the weird shadows on my character. Think I'll stick with it and just live my life or something. Thanks a ton for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
