• Fixing Blocky Shadows
    2 replies, posted
Pardon me if I sound a bit stupid or anything, but how do I make shadows from lights look less grainy in the SFM when turning the ShadowFilterSize down? Is there possibly a better way to make shadows smoother so they don't look grainy or low-res? Here's a visual for reference of some blocky shadows.

Put -sfm_shadowmapres 4096 into your launch options for source filmmaker. (Or 8192, if you think your computer is strong enough to handle it.) This increases the resolution of the shadows so they appear less blocky.
You can also raise the depth of field settings in the progressive refinement tab. (setting to 512 or higher is recommended, but if it lags your system, I would use it only for rendering)
