Darker terrain shadows?

by John Hernandez · in Torque Game Engine · 11/29/2004 (1:20 am) · 4 replies

Does anyone know if there any way to make the shadows that are baked into the terrain appear darker?

I'm not looking to increase the shadow resolution or anything fancy, just want them darker.


thanks

John

You can adjust how the terrain is lit by adjusting the properties of the "Sun" object with the mission editor. You can change the color/brightness of the sun, and you can change the ambient lighting color.

(You'll need to recompile the lighting with Alt-L after you click apply.)

Sorry, I should have added "beyond the normal means available" to my post.

I need the shadows darker that what can be achieved in the editor.

That's as dark as they can go in the mission editor.

I think it would be hard to get darker than black, I think I'm misunderstanding. Are you trying to make the terrain around the shadow brighter?

I think it's because I've raised the terrain blocksize to 32. When I lower it to 16 or 8 they seem a lot darker....
