both can kill your project if you don't use em judiciously...
i'm finding that out the hard way...
make your shadow volumes as simple as possible...
particle imposter reflections with envmaps can extract a heavy load...

Could you share how to do this? It would be greatly appreciated! But, if not, I understand. Thanks for the response!

idk but reflections are more important than shadows
the gamer won't look at the shadows and leave the game
good luck with your reflection ( its more important )

first i look to see if there actually are shadows being cast... then i look to see if they're real shadows or blobs...
reflections too... especially in water scenes...
