Character-Shadows Jagged and Blocky

[kidwitthafro]

So, I don't have problems with any of the other shadows--on objects and the ground they look fine. However on my character they are jagged and blocky. Does anyone know how to fix this? Here is a screenshot for reference: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/imageshare/image.php?id=55010

There's a line in your Skyrimpref.ini called "iBlurDeferredShadowMask"-

You want to change that to either 6 or 7 instead of the default 1 or 3.

 

There's also "iShadowMapResolution, iShadowMapResolutionPrimary & Secondary " which you can try tuning up to 3000.

 

 

If you don't have the -Primary and -Secondary lines, you can add them in yourself.

 

That's what fixed it all for me. Hope it helps

 

Btw, your pic isn't working right. In the future, you can try puush or tinypic.

Correction here, this needs to be a factor of 64 > 512, so;

 

512 (vanilla)

1024

2048

4096

8192

 

Generally, 4096 is fine. Setting both primary and secondary to 4096 ensures it will use the better shadowmap no matter what.

 

This is what I use for a decent trade-off between resolution and distance (you can't have both):

 

bHighTextureQuality=1

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=7

fInteriorShadowDistance=3500.0000

fShadowDistance=35000.0000

iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096

iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096

iEquippedTorchesCastShadows=1

iShadowSplitCount=2
