For characters, I can't tell you. But for foliage ( grass, plants etc ), bad grass would...

Where's the picture?...

[ClockworkOcean]

Sorry, don't know much about that, but Mosthost definitely does. Maybe re-read the reply......

Your problem there is you're trying to cast between two things which are not related....

[ClockworkOcean]

It's up to you of course...

The more I play with SSGI, the more I think it's just a frame eater. The difference in quality between 0 and...

[ClockworkOcean]

It all looks great, but it would be better to just use a start vector and a target vector.

But if you're working with constants in one plane,...

This is dynamic shadow at 3000 ( 95 fps ).

SSGI doesn't make any difference to how it looks, it just makes the frame rate significantly more...

When you make the macro library, you need to specify UserWidget as the class for it to be visible.

If you want to make one library, visible...
