Shadow problem

by Alejandro Lopez · in General Discussion · 06/04/2008 (4:35 pm) · 4 replies

Is normal that the collision model , makes shadows ?

my player is a simple arm , and the collision model is a box ( mesh ) under the arm , but the shadows are reflecting also the collision model.

this is my problem

AFAIK, the collision meshes are used as the shadows. Which has been a problem in the past with tree meshes with alpha transparency.

In player models, shadow is generated from the mesh not the collision, as I know. So it should cast shadow from the mesh.

If you have it set to be playing as a rigid vehicle and not a player object however, it will generate shadows from the collision mesh.
