I wanted to show how janky the AI slop is of the FilmCraft software.
I wanted to set the stage for how bad it is, and how little care there has actually been in implementing this tool, and most definitely the entire Craft suite too.

Is there something I'm missing?
Spent a bit of time improving the resolution of my shadow mapping implementation via blended linear + logarithmic cascade splits. Before, after, and after with PCF. Still doesn't look great but much better than before IMO.
