Shädows (A light engine)

[Starkkz]

I see, the issue has to be around here.
https://github.com/matiasah/shadows/blo ... s.lua#L104

Though I'm not completely sure what could be causing it. Maybe the distance between the farthest pixel to the center of the light, is lower than the radius value that the shader is using. So when doing the division: Distance / Radius it never reaches 1.0

Edit:

Either way, the distance is quite big and it goes beyond 1.0, when doing the 1.0 - Distance / Radius subtraction it treats the negative output as a positive number (I don't think this could be the case because it makes no sense that a negative number is treated as a positive).

Edit 2:

How does it look if you comment this line?

Its becomes much more visible and brighter.

Yeah, but this time we've realized that it's indeed the light shader the one that is not working, it isn't doing the fade effect at all. I'm going to have to check this out on GLES soon.

Edit:

My guess is that in
https://github.com/matiasah/shadows/blo ... s.lua#L102

Distance is always way lower than Radius, I don't know why this happens.

I solved your issue and commited it to the git, it was a compatibility issue which I posted here.

Its still there but not that visible though.

Hello everyone. Does anyone have the same problem? FPS drops when a moving object (body is updated in love.update). I want the shadow to be cast from dynamic objects (NPC, boxes, etc.).

It's not quite what I need. Updated the link to the video.

You are limiting what gets actually rendered, right? and you're not rendering things outside of the visible viewport, right? Because that can eat tons of extra processing that could be avoided.

If you are referring to the actual lights that shouldn't be an issue since I actually helped make sure nothing unnecessary is rendered when the lights are not in range. It even destroys the canvases when it's out of range (the part I helped with).
