[Suggestion] Add a setting to adjust or turn off shadows on grass? #415

Open korvl38 opened 4 months ago

korvl38 commented 4 months ago

Hi so in areas with long grass like piscatoris the shadows are very strong, with every blade of grass getting shadows its a bit too much contrast for my eyes. I know I could just turn it off but my preference is for HD.

Actually even when shadows are turned off, each grass is still rendered. At some angles it just looks like a million dark spikes all over the floor. Could we please have a small setting to adjust this to our liking? Thanks

Could you provide a screenshot of your problem? We already disable most grass from casting shadow.

Yes of course. I have turned my shadows off, see the comparison. I think its the shadow on the grass itself, everything looks very "spikey" I hope that makes sense. Note that I am choosing the worst lighting angle to demonstrate the issue, but the grass is very strong compared to SD

I know probably most people don't care but it's very tiring on my eyes. You could have a few levels of detail between SD and the current grass. 2024-04-15_10-32-47 2024-04-15_10-32-35 RuneLite_0ntgK1QoLb

@Jin-Jiyunsun thanks for the quick WIP. It's looking much better already. Seems you have AA on when I did not but either way it looks more natural and less strong on each individual grass.

I prefer closer to low resolution for grass but everyone has different taste, what kind of options are you able to add for adjusting grass settings between SD or HD?

I'll be attempting to tune it so it just looks good on a single setting, not really within the scope to offer multiple options for things like this. Had a few people give feedback regarding this so I think its worth trying to solve.
