Enhance Shadows for Better Depth and Atmosphere
Access Shadow Settings
Open the Velpix Shaders configuration menu and find shadow-related options. These typically include controls for shadow softness, distance, and intensity.
Adjust Shadow Properties
Modify these values to achieve your desired look:
- Shadow softness: Increase for painterly, blurred shadows; decrease for sharper, more defined edges
- Shadow distance: Extend how far shadows render from light sources
- Shadow intensity: Make shadows darker or lighter to control overall contrast
Fine-Tune for Your Build Style
For architectural builds, sharper shadows emphasize structure and detail. For landscapes and natural terrain, softer shadows create a more cohesive, storybook appearance. Test your changes near buildings, trees, and terrain features at different times of day. Sunset and sunrise often produce the most dramatic shadow effects, making them ideal for testing adjustments. Reload your world if changes don't appear immediately.
