Re: Shadow

Hi !

create a file transShadow.material containing this

material TransShadow
{
   receive_shadows on
   transparency_casts_shadows on
   technique TransShadowTech
   {
      pass TransShadowTex
      {
         ambient 0.698039 0.698039 0.698039 0
         diffuse 0.698039 0.698039 0.698039 0
         specular 0.898039 0.898039 0.898039 0 20
         scene_blend src_alpha dest_alpha
      }
   }
}

then apply it to a plane under the object, and activate stencil shadows

Re: Shadow

Hello friends
Some 3D objects with its shadow are defective. This is solely due to some detail in the 3D mesh or is there some setting in the material that may solve the problem?
I send a picture below to illustrate the problem.
Thanks again.

Re: Shadow

Yes sometimes the stencil shadows fail this is a ogre issue
try to re export your object and be sure to weld all the vertices, it's usually due to multi sub object materials you can also try to change the poly material ids if you don't use them.
