How to use Shadowcatcher in TS7.6?

Post by Hicks » 03 May 2010, 16:42

Hi,

In TrueSpace 7.51 and 7.6, there is a function called 'Shadowcatcher' (

The plane need to have a white color to be invisible. With shadowcatcher the color of the plane is like an alpha map. Also use the color of the shadow to change the intensity of the shadow on the ground.
ps: don't post the same question on several topic.
