Smart Shadows is a powerful tool designed to enhance your game's performance by optimizing the rendering of real-time shadows. Unlike Unity's default behavior, Smart Shadows automatically enables and disables shadows based on their priority and visibility, reducing the computational time and improving overall performance. This tool is perfect for games with complex or simple lighting, and its high level of customization allows you to adapt its behavior to your scene's specific needs.
With Smart Shadows, you can:
- Automatically enable and disable shadows based on priority and visibility
- Set the maximum simultaneous shadows and light influence distance
- Control light shadow importance and custom settings
- Smoothly fade in and out shadows for a seamless experience
- Reduce inconsistent lighting with range and intensity reduction tools
- Automatically adapt shadow resolutions for improved performance
- Use extra animation scripts for fire, flickering, and periodic lights
- Monitor game performance with a built-in FPS graph tool
Smart Shadows is compatible with Standard Rendering Pipeline, URP, and HDRP, and comes with clean source code and detailed documentation. Whether you're working on a complex or simple lighting project, Smart Shadows is the perfect solution to improve your game's performance and overall quality.
Smart Shadows is a dynamic shadow manager that uses a light priority algorithm to automatically enable and disable shadows. It comes with several settings to adapt its behavior to your scene's constraints, including maximum simultaneous shadows, light influence distance, and light shadow importance. The tool also includes a smooth fade in and out feature, range and intensity reduction tools, and automatic quality settings. Additionally, it includes extra animation scripts for fire, flickering, and periodic lights, and a built-in FPS graph tool for monitoring game performance.
