They used to be more bright and now they have more movement?

I’ve attached examples of what I’m talking about.
When did this happen and why?

Went to check my sword and it’s still the same as the first picture. I have Highest setting on Animation – Texture – Shader. I guess it’s the cause?

I just played around with my settings and I still get the second image even on max.
Weird.

I get the first with medium shaders and the second with shaders on high.

I went back and checked again. Yup, I was confused between my Shader and Shadow settings. I agree with you, medium shader gives that brightly lit blade while high shader gives a more subdue, liquid like shimmer.
