Leadwerks 4.2 RC4 shadow bug on rocks as vegetation

[tumira]

Windows 10 64Bit

 

1)Create new project (FPS template)

2)Open "08 Terrain.map"

3)Add Nature model pack dlc

4)On Terrain->Vegetation->Add "formation5.mdl" as the layer

5)Turn on shadows for the formation5

6)Paint on terrain

 

Some weird shadow artifact will happen. I noticed there is no shadow on the rocks when you are near it. It does not happen when I just drag the formation5.mdl into the scene manually (not as vegetation)

 

On Viewport

Look at the material for anything that is being used as vegetation. I suspect you are missing a shadow shader somewhere.

 

For Example:

and

@macklebee , thank you!. All the rock material are missing Shadow shaders.

This is still considered a bug on the DLC but not on the engine. I hope this is fix so that we dont need to do this every time importing this DLC into our projects.

 

Thanks

Thanks for figuring that out. I will fix it.
