Optional No Soft Shadow Flickering (Eevee)
I've been having a slight problem with eevee, that being the shadow rendering each line everytime you move or do something, that tends to be very distracting for me, especially when the shadow is very soft.
I was wondering if there could be soft shadows without the flickering, you may say they might not be as good as the flickering one, understandable. What i imagine is, there could be a button that switches the shadow type from the flickering soft shadows we have, and soft shadows that dont flicker and dont need to render each line, so you see the result instantly, but a bit less accurate.
Most people could use the flickering shadows we have now for the renders, and the still soft shadows like the ones in other game engines (example, Unreal Engine) have for the preview.

PCSS shadows could achieve this, it's a real time soft shadows technique. Or possibly an option to choose the number of shadow samples per viewport sample. Could be very helpful in the case of very big area lights, to choose say, 4 shadow samples per viewport sample, achieving at least 'some' softness with 1 viewport sample, at the cost of a performance penalty.
the problem is , the blender team decided eevee to be nothing more than cycles ugly little step brother and eevee being nothing more than a preview tool for cycles. and because of that they only implemented the visually best techniques.
lol and the end of the story is that for high quality renders cycles is now faster than eevee and eeve began to flicker in animations .. the eevee version from 2.8.0 is still the best lmao
Please be respectful!
There are ways of saying the same thing without being disrespectful. Behaviour like that is not welcome in blender.community . One more comment like that and your account will be deleted.
ask the people on bnpr what they think about this ! i was actually very calm even. edit: i edited the moron out of the comment , ... my argument still stands though
TAA shadow samples in viewport yeah.. would be nice.
