📋 About This Mod

Just toggled: Cast Raytraced Shadows From Original Geometry for a bunch of environment meshes.  didn't get everything, got a decent amount.

Supposed to make shadows look even better for raytracing and pathtracing.

I DONT EVEN KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS ANYMORE.  I think it looks better, could be a placebo lol

UPDATE: I did have a few people tell me it does add shadows to a few meshes.  =D
