Re: Grass shadow on consoles

Kind of a general question... you can certainly render grass shadows pretty
well with cascaded shadow maps, for instance, and cascaded shadow maps work
fine on consoles.  Do you mean more specifically?

The question is more - would you actually  want to do that, since rendering
all of the grass into a shadow map is far from free and of arguable visual
impact.  Doubly so if you mean that you want the shadows to cast ON to
grass, though again, certainly doable with (amongst other things) cascaded
shadow maps.
