Shadows in this game are just dreadful...
-
Yeah so, I sort of got used to it but I frequently notice that shadows and direct lighting in GTA are a mess from top to bottom.
I frequently find myself in a situation where I am standing on a roof, a tall building between me and the sun, and guess what? The surroundings are still lit and a character's shadow is clearly seen. The shadow of the building actually obscuring the sun, is not.
The same is true of Sandy Shores where, if you are next to the Boat House during evening hours - everything should be engulfed by the shadow cast by Mount Josiah. But... it is not.
As if many mountains and buildings were completely translucent...Maybe it's because of my journeyman CG skills that I find it so disturbing. But please tell me - do you consider it normal?
I don't even know anymore if this is a R*'s overlooking or is it caused by the graphic mods (I'm using VisualV). Anyway, a big mistake...
