This is the slowest directional shadow mode. Keeps the shadow stable when the camera moves, at the cost of lower effective shadow resolution. - Tries to achieve maximum shadow resolution.

This mode typically works best in games where the camera will often move at high speeds, such as most racing games. diff --git a/scene/3d/light_3d.cpp b/scene/3d/light_3d.cpp index 814e9113722..ef24676d693 100644 --- a/scene/3d/light_3d.cpp +++ b/scene/3d/light_3d.cpp @@ -402,7 +402,7 @@ void DirectionalLight3D::_bind_methods() { ClassDB::bind_method(D_METHOD("is_blend_splits_enabled"), &DirectionalLight3D::is_blend_splits_enabled); ADD_GROUP("Directional Shadow", "directional_shadow_"); - ADD_PROPERTY(PropertyInfo(Variant::INT, "directional_shadow_mode", PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, "Orthogonal,PSSM 2 Splits,PSSM 4 Splits"), "set_shadow_mode", "get_shadow_mode"); + ADD_PROPERTY(PropertyInfo(Variant::INT, "directional_shadow_mode", PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, "Orthogonal (Fast),PSSM 2 Splits (Average),PSSM 4 Splits (Slow)"), "set_shadow_mode", "get_shadow_mode"); ADD_PROPERTYI(PropertyInfo(Variant::FLOAT, "directional_shadow_split_1", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "0,1,0.001"), "set_param", "get_param", PARAM_SHADOW_SPLIT_1_OFFSET); ADD_PROPERTYI(PropertyInfo(Variant::FLOAT, "directional_shadow_split_2", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "0,1,0.001"), "set_param", "get_param", PARAM_SHADOW_SPLIT_2_OFFSET); ADD_PROPERTYI(PropertyInfo(Variant::FLOAT, "directional_shadow_split_3", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "0,1,0.001"), "set_param", "get_param", PARAM_SHADOW_SPLIT_3_OFFSET);
