Shadow Troubles

[MilitantGolf]

I was trying to get shadows working in my game.
When I ran the Game with the shadow test the Shadow rendered in an exact 90 degree angle
What can cause this?

No idea. Do you do anything special with the nodes? Also can you make a screenshot? (you can post it to imgur if you don't have a webserver)

Here is The node code Is there anything needed to render shadows?

Code: Select all

 
    mesh = smgr->getMesh("Bin/swd.x");
    if (!mesh)
    {
        device->drop();
        return 1;
    }
    node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );
    
    if (node)
    {
        auto sh = node->addShadowVolumeSceneNode();
        //node->setMaterialType(E_MATERIAL_TYPE::EMT_SOLID);
        node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_NORMALIZE_NORMALS, true);
        node->setScale(vector3df(1,1,1));
        auto ab = node->getPosition();
        ab.Y += 10;
        node->setPosition(ab);
        node->setMaterialTexture( 0, driver->getTexture("Bin/swdtxt.png") );
        
        smgr->setShadowColor(video::SColor(150,0,0,0));
    }

This somehow renders the shadow inverted rotation from the mesh

Can you try modifying example 08 and just replacing the dwarf by your model? Are the shadows then also inverted?
