T3D 1.1 Beta 3 - Incorrect shadow transform (+fix) - LOGGED

Hi,
in BL the shadow is just a decal.
Currently if you try to rotate an object on the fly (c++) you will see wrong shadow results.
The problem is: lightning and shadow transforms usually work with non-rotated render-transforms.
In projectedShadow.cpp , locate :
And replace with:

I'm pleased to see you on the forums.
Does this mean you are still at works actually on T3D?
If the answer is 'Yes', is it for public release or internal work?
I hope your future is still bright.

We're still under contract and are attending to some fixes for T3D... I can't really share more than that right now.

@Ivan - Can you drop me some code which can reproduce this bug?

This is the old resource "Conform Player to Terrain",that actually rotates the player on sloped surfaces.
Put the player on a horizotal surface - the shadow is correct.
Create a sloped surface (round about 30 degrees),you'll see the player's shadow a metre away from the player.

Hmm, wondering - does the 'conform to terrain' work on dts shapes? I'm thinking an Escher-esque FPS now - imagine a firefight in a tesseract....

I had noticed "...sloped surface (round about 30 degrees),you'll see the player's shadow a metre away from the player..." is true for Advanced Lighting, I notice it because I have terrain generating self shadows turned off.
