 			Shadow filter mode. Higher-quality settings result in smoother shadows that flicker less when moving. "Disabled" is the fastest option, but also has the lowest quality. "PCF5" is smoother but is also slower. "PCF13" is the smoothest option, but is also the slowest.
 			[b]Note:[/b] When using the GLES2 backend, the "PCF13" option actually uses 16 samples to emulate linear filtering in the shader. This results in a shadow appearance similar to the one produced by the GLES3 backend.
