Feel free to delete this if it breaks a rule or something. I figured it would probably be okay since it isn't about plot, character design or anything like that, but it is pertinent to the volume 4 RTX trailer, so I'm not sure...

Throughout volumes 1-3, if you pay attention to the characters feet, they never appear to make contact with the floor beneath them. Some instances are much more noticeable than others. It took me a while to work out why this was, but it was obvious really. Shadows. No-one had a proper shadow, just a darkened blob around their feet.

It seems Rooster Teeth have at last fixed this problem. Volume 4 will have actual shadows, and the difference is astonishing. It seems like a minor thing, but it's little things like this that tamper with immersion when they're off, and this seemed like a last hang-on from the early days despite improvements in every other part of the animation.

tl;dr: Yay for shadows, because we appear to have them now!
