But they don't really, it's just vrad bounced light.

ya i assumed that i just didn't know that the bounced light would show up in the shadows which is cool.. i guess

The game would look horrendous without any bounced light / lightmapping, if only because of how short the range of the CSM is.

any luck?
Why is the SDK screwed up? I can't use "shaded textures" render mode for 3D and I can't see blend textures... (the blend part)

the programmers were pretty clever on this one — CSM shadows still use the color information that's stored in the lightmaps
Does CS:GO use the projected texture optimizations portal 2 uses?

It's actually not that difficult, you just take into account the lightmaps when calculating shadows. Seen as shadows are calculated per object instead of in a deferred manner, it's really easy to do this. If they didn't do this then I guess the CSM would look shitty and have an ugly as fuck transition between it and the lightmaps - if that transition would even be possible without blending like it does already.

Well it uses the same hardware bilinear filtering & 5x5 pcf filtering. But seen as these are proper cascaded shadowmaps, and not hacky projected texture shit there's not really anything it needs from the projected texture optimisations - CSM renders only what is in the view frusta for each cascade, which includes things that the player can't even see. Though you can cache those objects I guess, and then update them only while you can see them in view. It would just look weird because if you didn't have a way to manually un-flag cached objects, shadows from constantly moving objects would be static when you aren't looking at them.

I just wanted to know, because what if someone made an indoor map, and wanted it to have dynamic lighting, but couldn't use CSM. Env_projected_texture would be the way to go if there is optimizations from portal 2 added to it.

Also, CS_office seems to use it.

of course CS:GO uses optimization that portal 2 uses for its projected textures. It would be stupid not to seeming as the engine updated, and it optimized the projected textures.
I don't have the beta, so I can't test this myself, but is it possible to have more than one projected texture without visual glitches now?

Don't think so.

Depends if they changed it like they did for Dota 2. You could always give it a shot.

I thought you meant for CSM anyway, I knew they had the regular entity in some places.
