Shadow Problem

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 08/23/2007 (8:31 am) · 6 replies

I have 1.5.2 and exported the buggy with milkshape now the body cast no shadow.
Anyone tell me what I need to do on the export? I have a collision mesh but that doesn't seem to cast a shadow. Do I need another mesh?

I've never used Milkshape but perhaps someone around here with more experience can chime in with any ideas. But untill then I'd suggest snooping around in the engine docs to find how to export vehicles from Milkshape.

Yeah there is info on the exporter but nothing mentions the shadow or lack thereof.
Any help out there?

IIRC, the shadows for vehicles are generated from it's collision mesh? If so, then you need to make a collision for a buggy. How? No clue, I'm not an artist, and never used it.

If I'm wrong in my statement - then I dunno.

See my response to your other thread, but the issue could be bounding box related.
