Return value

Current filtering mode used, one of SHADOW_FILTER_* values.

void setShadowFilter ( float filter ) #

Sets filtering intensity for the selected mode.
Notice
This value is ignored when filtering mode is set to disabled.

Arguments

  • float filter - Filtering intensity for the selected mode. The higher the value the less noticeable the stair-step effect at the edges of shadows will be. The default value is 1.0f.

float getShadowFilter ( ) #

Returns the current filtering intensity for the selected mode.

Return value

Filtering intensity for the selected mode. The higher the value the less noticeable the stair-step effect at the edges of shadows will be. The default value is 1.0f.

void setShadowPenumbraMode ( int mode ) #

Sets the global quality mode to be used for rendering penumbra from the light source. This mode enables simulation of real-world shadows by keeping sharp contact shadows closer to the base and softening the farther the shadow stretches away. Higher values produce softer shadows. The default value is SHADOW_PENUMBRA_GLOBAL.

Arguments

  • int mode - Quality mode used for penumbra rendering, one of the SHADOW_PENUMBRA_* variables.

int getShadowPenumbraMode ( ) #

Returns the current global quality mode used for rendering penumbra from the light source. This mode enables simulation of real-world shadows by keeping sharp contact shadows closer to the base and softening the farther the shadow stretches away. Higher values produce softer shadows. The default value is SHADOW_PENUMBRA_GLOBAL.

Return value

Current quality mode used for penumbra rendering, one of the SHADOW_PENUMBRA_* variables.

void setShadowPenumbra ( float penumbra ) #

Sets intensity of penumbra for the selected mode.
Notice
This value is ignored when penumbra rendering mode is set to disabled.

Arguments

  • float penumbra - Intensity of penumbra for the selected mode:
    • Low values correspond to sharper shadow edges.
    • Higher values increase penumbra size.
    The default value is 0.0f.

float getShadowPenumbra ( ) #

Returns the current intensity of penumbra for the selected mode.

Return value

Current intensity of penumbra for the selected mode:
  • Low values correspond to sharper shadow edges.
  • Higher values increase penumbra size.
The default value is 0.0f.
