[UE5] Translucent Shadow with Lumen - Unreal Engine 5.5
This video shows a clever trick to get more realistic translucent shadows in Unreal Engine with Lumen + VSM. Since Lumen doesn’t support proper translucent shadow colors, the usual method, using "Cast Dynamic Shadow as Masked", makes shadows look too solid and unnatural.
In this tutorial you'll find out how to fake the translucent shadow/caustic effect with a trick that allows you to control the shadow’s intensity, being adaptable to a dynamic lighting scenario.
