Notes
This CVar is for the use of shadow buffers and it’s not used by Doom 3. With a usual shadow buffers implementation if you lights take snapshots of the world and save it as textures. Option “2” render two shadow buffers: one using the front facing triangles to the light and one using the back facing triangles to the light and then combines them together to find a midpoint value between all of the surfaces. Midpoint renderings is a higher quality option with a performance cost.
