This issue was killing me until I realized the cause today... When using the database view on a separate monitor from the main editor window (effect icon disappears from accompanying mouse cursor between monitors), drags from the database to the editor do not complete. Furthermore, when I dock the D...

Awesome, thanks for the reply! that is certainly a good toggle to keep in mind!

Hello all, I have made a mesh to use as a shell casing in a particle effect ejecting from a custom weapon I am working on. I cannot for the life of me figure out why my cgf exported from 3ds max is not showing up in my objects folder. It does not show up in the asset browser in the main ui either (I...

Hey there guys, for this weird project I am working on it would make my life considerably easier if I could keep the svoti pass and discard all other lighting in the scene. I DO want to keep all the contributions to the svoti pass from the sun, and other point lights in the scene, however I do not w...

Thanks for the reply tacihon, I have looked into these options and gotten it looking very good in terms of a game but this needs to be even more photoreal than that if possible. The scene is completely static so I have opted for raytraced lighting and shadow bakeouts which I am going to implement vi...

Perfect, thanks so much for your response. I figured there must be a cvar or two I was missing because I remember back in the day doing this for the original crysis was only an autoexec tweak or two. Sweet!

Thanks again!

Hey there, I am wondering how I would go about telling the engine to render shadows with higher resolution maps properly. Right now the only variable I know which affects this is e_ShadowsMaxTexRes. Idealy I would like the shadows to be done at 4k resolution. If I set this variable to 4096, 2048, or...

I have a question regarding point lights and getting softer shadows from them. I see in the documentation that there is a cvar called r_shadowblur. In the sdk this is not a recognized command it seems. As far as I can tell the variable enables screen space blurring of shadow maps, is there something...

Hey there guys. I need to create some pretty complex lighting for an indoor scene that needs to be highly photo-realistic. Although the svoti is great for color bleed and large areas of occlusion, I need something that can handle sophisticated blurred shadows. They do not need to be dynamic. I figur...

Thanks for the additional info there Collin, I will check that out!
