3.1 shadow shader

[tjheldna]

Hi All,

 

I've been in 3.0 land all this time and am wondering in 3.1 Material Editor->shader shadow field, do you have to add a shadow shader here? It looks like models are get shadows regardless?

 

Cheers!

This is only if you need a special vertex shader for the shadow, like in the case of animated models.

A bit of documentation on this would be helpful, I find this bit confusing as well. E.g., I have to assign a alphamask shadow shader to my trees so they correctly cast shadows, and I actually don't have a clue why.

Perhaps a new LE3 chapter about animated shaders and type of shadows settings as things have changed again lately with that new system ?
