muhammad Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Hi everyone! Is there any way to make cockpit objects cast shadows in Cockpit views? and Is there any way to make clouds cast shadows on scenery? These stuff will definitely change the game experience. Quote
PeacePuma Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I don't think so, that property must be included by the game's graphics engine... since the programming code is still closed, all you see here are just modifications on what the graphics engine offers.

alexis99 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Okay, well the Razbam A-6E cockpit actually has moving shadows. A-6A, A-6C do not, but the A-6E does. It blew me away when I first saw it. As you turned, the cockpit frame cast a moving shadow over the panel. It's awesome. If you know how to dig into LODs and stuff, which I don't, you might find out how they did it. Did I mention that it's awesome? 1 Quote

UllyB Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 "moving shadow" ? :) What's a "moving shadow" ? Some technicalities: there's no such thing. It's dynamic shadows, if any, and it must be included in game's graphics engine. Quote
alexis99 Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 A moving shadow is a shadow that moves. You see a shadow in the cockpit and as you turn the aircraft the shadow moves across the cockpit. It's pretty basic stuff. Quote

LOOOL Well then you must right away correct those... stupid hardware engineers that gave it that ugly name in allover articles and books: "dynamic shadow" :) Aaaa almost forgot, and please let them know it's pretty basic stuff , too, will you ? ;) Edited September 13, 2023 by UllyB Quote
alexis99 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 The topic is about casting shadows and moving shadows. It's a description of something one sees in real life. If the technical term in games is dynamic shadows, then thanks for sharing. In the real world we call them moving shadows. If you're watching the sun going down over a beautiful vista, you might say to your girlfriend "Look how the shadows are moving as the sun descends". A nerd would say "Cool dynamic shadows". But he wouldn't have a girl next to him to say it to. 1 Quote
UllyB Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Those engineers I mentioned, by the way, they, too, live in the...real world you're talking about. Did you know that ? No, a nerd would not say that ever. A nerd would just look and keep his mouth shut asking himself how the heck did he wind up with your there.LOL Quote
