Shadows [SOLVED]

[TattieBoJangle]

Is there a way to get the shadows to use alpha for like plants trees ect.

Are you using the Advanced or Uber shader?

Uber instantly makes alpha shadows if reject is turned on, whereas the base material requires a tweak if i remember...

Alpha Smooth will not cast shadows though, only rejection does.

[TattieBoJangle]

using Advanced with reject.

i will have a look

it looks like we aren't applying the shadow caster to the material.

Open the material editor and click on the little script icon in the bottom.
This will open the material file itself.

in the material MyMaterial_adv : Base_Multilight_V1_AlphaReject
You should see lots of set properties.

Add this line to the bottom of those:

Code: Select all

set $shadowCasterMaterial "DesertGrass02_ShadowCaster"

replace the name of the shadowcaster material with the one in the top of the material file.
IT will be the material name with a "_ShadowCaster" on the end.

Save the material
Reload the sceneEntity.

I will make the files write this out by default now This will be in the next release.
