Shadow Overlay

This article is a stub. The following information should be added:

• expand on calculation, without solely relying on heat calculation
• speed over heat is not the primary feature and should be moved to note or less prominent location on article
• image of result

The Shadow Overlay stores the result of a Shade calculation.

Notes

• Shadow overlay is identical to the Shade result type of an Heat Overlay. However, using this specifc Overlay is approximately 10 times faster then calculating the Shade with the overhead of the complete DPRA Heat Module.
