Landscape Shadows

by Howard Dortch · in Torque 3D Professional · 10/07/2010 (12:25 am) · 4 replies

Is there a way to turn on shadows for hills on my terrain? Using scatter sky and time, the sun travels across the sky just fine but the hills have no shadow

Look at this threat:

It says it is resolved, but I still have the same problems.

What settings do you use? Or more to the point what settings would affect the landscape shadows?
I tried to change shadowType to something other than PSSM but the editor wont let me is that fixed in 1.01?

Sun/scattersky is supposed to only be PSSM.

Settings are ... well, normal really. Stock "Empty Terrain" mission, make a huge mountain that towers over the rest of the terrain. Sort out a "time of day" object and watch the sun move across the sky, the shadows cast by the terrain moving across themselves.
