Shadows Bug

Post by Leiden »

Ok in the SpecialFX demo, enable realtime shadows and then run the demo. Now follow the shadow of the fairy around the room until it stops. For some reason the shadow will freeze and wont continue to be updated by the lights position, its as if the light was static behind the camera, but instead the light is still rotating around the room while the shadow stays in the same place. But then as soon as you turn the camera around and look at the fairy, the shadow is properly positioned again. Is this some kind of shadow occulsion or something?

Yep, it is a general problem caused by the automatic culling of the fairy. You can work around this by setting automatic culling for the fairy and the shadow to false.
