In case anyone wasn’t aware, there’s also now support for PCSS shadows from directional lights.

r.shadow.filteringmethod 1 produces results as so…

Also, shadow biasing seems to have been heavily improved, point and spotlights have perfect shadows with as low as 0.01 bias in most situations now, which means no more peter panning or acne all over the place - they don’t use the new filter yet though, but I’m sure that’ll change once this feature becomes finalised.

This change really should’ve been highlighted in the new features list. The difference is astounding even without PCSS.
