About
Better shadow control!

Source Shadows gives you control over the Source engine's dynamic render-to-texture shadows (RTT). While many maps overlook shadow settings, Source Shadows lets you create custom settings for each map, with a few extra options. You can adjust the usual settings like shadow color, shadow distance, and shadow direction. Plus, you can tweak additional settings to make shadows follow the nearest world light and set the shadow direction based on the dynamic sun of the map.

Source Shadows also provides a couple of client settings, which allow you to toggle first person shadows, door shadows, shadow quality, and more.

Compared to other shadow addons, Source Shadows is incredibly universal, not taxing, and easily changeable per-map.

@potatogaming I can't say for blue, but I can safely assume that he looked into much of the lua scripting already available in regards to configuring the Source Engine's shadows, what goes into it, and simply decided to try and make things more configurable regarding the shadows, lighting, etc. Which he's done so successfully in my opinion.

@cayama0811 I'm not sure, but try playing with Life Mod alongside the Source Shadows addon, both have options to tweak the shading and such inside the game and I feel they actually work well together for my own purposes. I'm also fairly certain there's settings for multiple shadow origins being cast onto a single object, but I could very well be wrong.

its possible to have multiple shadows on the same object? it kinda looks weird when u have a lot of lights around u but theres only one that produces shadow so yeah
