Values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | Recommended. Uses the default MegaLights shadow method. |
| RayTracing | Preferred method, which guarantees fixed MegaLights cost and correct area shadows, but is dependent on the BVH representation quality. |
| VirtualShadowMap | Has a significant per light cost, but can cast shadows directly from the Nanite geometry using rasterization. |
Remarks
MegaLights Shadow type for a light component.
