That’s your answer. It’s only for higher render settings.

Light leaking?


I’m using spotlights. Same thing happens with point lights. Will this be fixed soon?

I love this. This will be a dream come true if Roblox allowed it in live games.

That’s the shadow gap:

Whats up with the angle of the light changing with shadows on when your more farther. I don’t know how to say it but heres a video showing off what I mean. Is this a bug or some sort of optimization? Same thing happens with point lights. It’s more noticeable depending on how far and where the light is. https://youtu.be/Ovq_7hi9CW0

Disable ‘CastShadow’, that should fix it. Because the light will project the part’s shadow too if that is enabled.

Then he wouldn’t be able to use shadows which he probably doesn’t want.

it’s an optimization, lights have dynamically sized shadowmaps to scale and perform better

How efficient will this be for mobile players? Will they be able to experience this lighting without having to drop the quality down too much?

I think you might be getting confused about which shadow property he is talking about. ‘CastShadow’ is a property of a part which means you can turn off shadows for that part only while keeping shadows for other parts from the same light source.

The Future really Is Bright :clap:! It’s amazing how Roblox took feedback to make greater graphics for the platform.

Based off of ROBLOX’s 2020 Platform Roadmap, this was originally scheduled to be released during October to December of 2020. Although it appears that this update may be ahead of schedule (from the outside), I’m unsure if they ever release anything before the original expected timeframe. However, it’s likely guaranteed to be released for live game servers before 20201.

Will FiB 3 ever be compatible with the lowest graphics settings? I would love to see this lighting technology used in horror games, but turning the graphics to 1 would give an unfair advantage since shadows aren’t cast by parts.
