I like Shadow just fine, sure he's Norwegian but we can't hold that against him can we?

Anyways what's wrong with them exactly? Look ok to me?

they have not changed, it just looks crapy, I saw pictures of res and the shadows just looked very real!

Can you post a screenshot of how they look for you?

I guess you have your Shadows LOD too low (which means actually too high), the shadows will look very bad if shadows LOD aren't something like 0.050 and under. With shadows LOD set to 0.005 shadows will look very good and realistic.

Also, the shadows may look like wireframes if you are running in 16-bit color. If the above advice doesn't solve the problem and you aren't using 32-bit color, try changing the color depth.

Hi all,

A _very_ minor stylistic point, but I do think the shadows could do with being just a tad darker...

Indeed, so could the new sea texture - which is a vast improvement - but just a little darker would help distinguish it from the land.

Sometimes "less is more" does not apply;)

Bestest,

Prospero
