[Solved] More shadow than I expected, or maybe less. Anyway, somethings wrong

Hi all

 

First of all. Sorry about the double post. I edited the title and added some content.

Then it became a new post when I clicked Save Changes. Not what I expected.

 

I made a simple model (a block with some stairs) in 3DWS and exported to GMF.

Now I can see a problem with shadows for my character. The problems is the same

both when I'm in the Editor or in my Game.

 

My English isn't good enough to describe the problem but some screen-shoot's will make it obvious.

 

In Editor

 

 

 

In Game

 

 

 

Is this something I have to accept and live with or am I doing anything wrong.

I have turned dynamic shows on.

Looks to me like your stairs are not casting any shadow. In your second screenshot a part of the shadow is red and if you look closer, the red part should be hidden by the stairs shadow.

 

I suggest you double check your material file.

It could also be that your stairs mesh normals are flipped and therefore the light shines through.

i dunno... but it seems as if the shadows are being projected exactly as they should be... i think the problem is with the stairs... they don't seem to be casting shadows, therefore the object shadow is also being cast upon the wall unaffected... if the stairs did cast a shadow, both the stair shadow and only the top of the character shadow would be seen on the wall, as it should be...

 

i think...

Still beats me why my stairs has no shadow. Its made the same way as the other models in 3DWS.

 

Everything except the stairs get shadows. Why ....

 

 

 

 

I have attached the files if you wan't to check.

Removed the trees and water, but else its the same as in the image.

there are no mat files in that zip... but even then, when i just place the stairs into a scene i get shadows... so it would seem its an issue with your material file...

Sometimes the solutions are simple. Yes of course. I forgot to make mat-files = Solved.
