Optimizing UE4 for Fortnite: Battle Royale - Part 2 | GDC 2018 | Unreal Engine

I don't think it's projected, I think it's just a quad. You can see some of them clipping into terrain in the time of day animation. You'd never notice it ingame though.

I had mixed feelings about it or at least at which distance those blob shadows are used. Yes, the shadows are clipping directly through the terrain and it's really visible at 55:52. The shadows are clearly going through the ridge. However, what peaked my interest can be seen at 55:54 with the trees which are on the ridge itself. It would be a pretty jarring if the player can go bellow the shadow and it suddenly disappears. So either there is something more than the quads going on or it's used only when the player is jumping off the bus. A quick play through on low settings answered my question though. The blobs are only used at great distances, then fade completely off. It's still a nice effect even if it wasn't quite what I was hoping for :)

Alternatively you could always use capsule shadows?

Hi, I have the same question, have you figured it out?

What phone do you own?
