    the light/shadow cast of pointlights looks wierdly "meshlike"...

    what causes this to happen?

    ​SOLVED

    the "texsize" decreases the more you increase the "radius"... but unfortunetly icreasing the texsize along with the radius causes unbearable FPS drops.

    Try playing with the shadow settings, maybe higher resolution or softness, lower radius or different shadow type.

    You can get some strange effects with the point lights and shadows..

    nah guys, its just the carbon fiber that the D15 is made out of that shows up when you point a spotlight at it :)

    j/k I have seen this before, I just adjusted my lighting/shadow settings to different values and came out a winner with no meshy shadows.
