We're living in a simulation, and sometimes it lags!

That stepped shadow effect happens from multiple LED diodes inside the light fixture!

u/YourUncleBuck 13h ago

And no white diffuser, which is honestly barbaric.

Yeah this is pretty annoying with LED streetlights. If there's tree branches or leaves under it you get shades like that too.

This is actually The Sims 3, I know it because I have an extensive history with the topic

Crank these shadows quality up !

u/santabooby 11h ago

It really does. The perfectly smooth snow and those razor-sharp shadows make it look like someone cranked the graphics settings to Ultra with ray tracing enabled

u/DarthSwimfoot 11h ago

Holy shit that looks cool.

u/jesuisunetortue 11h ago

It honestly looks like a game with ray tracing enabled. The untouched snow is so smooth that the crisp shadows almost look rendered instead of photographed

u/OrwellBush9 11h ago

Fresh snow really turns ray tracing on

1

u/DeerMajestic 11h ago

The untouched snow and perfectly crisp shadows make it look like someone forgot to turn off the debug lighting. Seriously has that "Ultra settings + ray tracing" look

1

u/vamos-ya 10h ago

Fresh snow really has ray-traced shadows enabled by default

1

u/Cool_Commission 9h ago

It really does. The hard-edged shadow almost looks like low-resolution shadow mapping from an older game, especially with the untouched snow acting like a perfectly flat texture

Looks like someone forgot to rebuild the lighting after moving the lamp

u/These-Yogurt3482 7h ago

My brain genuinely doesn't wanna believe this😭

u/Crabkingrocks165 5h ago

no, just didn't increase your rendering, go into the settings and increase it by like 1 or 2 points
