Accessory Parameter Values

-X, Y, and Z: Adjusts the center coordinates of the shadow map. The further away an object is from the center coordinates, the lower quality the shadows will become.

-Rx: Adjusts the density of the shadows. By default, it is set to +1; setting this value to -1 will disable the shadows.

-Ry: When using CFSUSM, adjusts the ratio of the shadow map when it is split for foreground-background. Using a range of -1.00 to +1.00, a negative value increases the precision of shadow generation in the foreground, whereas a positive value increases the precision in the background. When using CLSPSM, this value adjusts the overlap amount of nearby shadows. Using a range of -1.00 to +1.00, a positive value increases the amount of overlap.

-Rz: When using CFSUSM, this value adjusts the background distance in which the shadows will be generated. Increasing this value will allow objects from very far away to generate shadows. When using CLSPSM, this value adjusts the perspective of the shadow map using LSPSM. Using a range of -1.00 to +1.00, a positive number will make the perspective weaker, whereas a negative number will make the perspective stronger.

-Si: Adjusts the blur strength of the shadows.

-Tr: Adjusts the blur strength of the shadows as an object moves far away.
