Here the new Version.. and now with a little blur effect.

Download new Shadow Script here!! (29.8.2007)

Sieht ja ganz nice aus, aber funktioniert es mit jedem Objekt gut und "biegt" sich der Schatten auch um Ecken? Weil dann würde selbst ich als Pro-User das verwenden

Nein der Schatten verbiegt sich nicht diese Funktion soll nur für Anwender der Standart Version sein.
Aber es geht mit jedem Objekt egal wie komplex es ist, zumindest hab ich noch keins gefunden wo es nicht funktionierte.

MFG Ralph

getting better, does it also stretch the shadow according to the light?

No the shadow doesnt stretch ...
This is only for people who has the standart version and doesnt like sprites.
So nothing for Com or Pro Users.

Aside from sprite shadows, is this the only other way to cast shadows on mdl geometry? Or is that possible now with stencil shadows?

thats possible with stencil shadows.. however, the A7 shadows are as ugly as the A6 shadows and as frame eatign as ever, so you might want to wait till the new rendering system?

anyway, i like the way it looks.. cool stuff^^

actually ralph, this is a great contribution for all editions, it is still better than a low framerate stencil shadow, which looks about the same as this, so, i think i'll use this alternative (A6.5 Com)

Thanks for comments.
I work at a new dynamic Shadow at this moment... but this should cost much more time. I hope i can show first screens in 2 or 3 days....
