Shader Inconsistency
I was wondering why the shaders are very inconsistent across different pc's...


Look here, my soft shadow is very dull, barely exists at all.



whereas war-hero's one is nice and dark and big. D:









my blood is thin and there is always gaps between the individual pieces of blood






but here it is much more realistic and all the bits of blood join togethor to make a flying blood stream. D:





Is this to minimize lag on older/less powerful computers? If so, I would like an option to just go full out on the graphics, which could be used for videos, since the footage can be sped up anyway.
On jam's last pic it only has 1 dismember though.

well i have been using shaders for a while now and have never seen a constant blood stream like the video, and have never gotten a shadow even close to as dark as war hero's.

also i used shadows on my mates NVidia GeForce 9800GTX Ultra (absolutely fuckin awesome graphics card) about 15 min ago, (just got back from my mates house.) and it had the constant blood, and dark soft shadows...

maybe this is a matter of whether you have the bare minimum pixel shader 2, or something higher. from what i have seen the cards with pixel shader 3 or 4 look substantially better than pixel shader 2 with the shaders enabled.

do you have all settings to 1? it probobly overuses your card, and makes it less quality, i need to get whatever war hero has!
also, it could have to do with what you took your picture with, infact thats it.
I have everything set to 1.
