Self Shadowing

Self Shadowing is a feature that allows to cast shadows of a mesh on its own surface. It'll cast self shadows when there's an dynamic light nearby. We use PCF filtering provided by the engine for this. Which is good for performance and quality at the same time. We do plan to implement PCSS soon.

We only support very limited amount of controls for now.

Comparison between self-shadow OFF & On
Notice that self-shadow casts shadows of the robot's claws on his body.

In Realistic Mode, Self shadowing is On by default. You can turn it of in Realistic Shading category. And, You can't use a separate Self Shadow Map like other modes.

Also, Self Shadowing is disabled in Transparent mode. As that mode don't cast shadows.
