Custom shadow maps with PCSS

[vinz99]

you can get decently soft shadows with the built-in shadows but yeah couldn’t get as soft as the three.js example without more artefacts, might need more tinkering.
I thought TD soft shadows were based on PCSS but I might be mistaken.
Some older forum post refer to it

Soft shadows in next build

yay, soft shadows. Which approach did you use? If it’s based on some paper, can you please also post a link to it? PS: funny typo in release notes (Fixed meatball rendering)

Rendering Shadows

so is this how it’s supposed to look? Also, on another machine, I get errors when loading the file and touch just displays the checkboards 2 line(s) were added to the begining of the pixel shader by Touch. Pixel Shader Compile Results: (30) : error C0000: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting '(' at token "[" (30) : error C0501: type name expected at token "[" (47) : error C1068: too much data in type constructor (86) : warning C7011: implicit cast from "int" to "float"
