Deep GFX config changes?

Hi,

I know UE4 has some deep config changes that are available to most (all?) games.

Are there any pre-made configs that I can take a look at?

My aim is to make the shadows have a longer draw distance, but not have them quite as detailed close up. So in my mind that means to lower the shadow map, but increase the draw distance.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

You could try playing around with these and see what happens. Good luck!

C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\AC2\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

Insert:-

[SystemSettings]
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=?

"Scalability option to trade shadow distance versus performance for directional lights (clamped within a reasonable range).
<1: shorter distance
1: normal (default)
>1: larger distance"

Or/& Insert:-

[SystemSettings]
r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale=?

"Allows to scale the cascaded shadow map transition region. Clamped within 0..2.
0: no transition (fastest)
1: as specific in the light settings (default)
2: 2x larger than what was specified in the light"


Examples:-


sg.ShadowQuality 0
r.LightFunctionQuality=0
r.ShadowQuality=0
r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades=1
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=512
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.06
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=0.6
r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale=0

sg.ShadowQuality 1
r.LightFunctionQuality=1
r.ShadowQuality=2
r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades=1
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=1024
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.05
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=0.7
r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale=0.25

sg.ShadowQuality 2
r.LightFunctionQuality=1
r.ShadowQuality=5
r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades=2
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=1024
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.04
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=0.85
r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale=0.8

sg.ShadowQuality 3
r.LightFunctionQuality=1
r.ShadowQuality=5
r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades=4
r.Shadow.MaxResolution=1024
r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.03
r.Shadow.DistanceScale=1.0
r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale=1.0

 

Good to know UE4 is being improved upon. Hopes up that ACC can benefit from that.
