[SUGGESTION AND A QUESTION] Different shadow rendering possibility?
New, WishlistPublic

Description

I would like to tell you how weird and unnatural DayZ's shadows look. Even the hands on the character are just one giant block! (Even though the rifle has a perfect shadow projection...) Even arma has the same sharp edged (ugly) shadows...

Here is what I have in mind: http://i.imgur.com/Q2ZWt7w.jpg

Normal shadows are a bit blurry on the edges and it looks way better also.
Is there a way to change this, or the engine just won't support it?
Please contact me on: simon.leska@gmail.com or twitter: @saymonborat

I am extremely interested in this as it would make the game look way more beautiful.

"I would like to tell you how weird and unnatural DayZ's shadows look. Even the hands on the character are just one giant block!"

Turning of the shadows looks better AND increases the FPS. With shadows on it's unplayable on many many systems. Thanks Arma-Engine.
