lol yeah im bored at work so i press the refresh button thousand times per minute 8D
im glad it helped a bit with the ambient and albedo.
yeah sure. point shadow is just a round, black fading sprite, that you use as shadow for your characters, like in cartoons. they only have a black spot under themself which fades out. just create a round black sprite, and place it on the bottom under your player.use it also for ovbjects like trees, pots, and so on

i do it in my game too, so you dont need to use stencil shadows or whatever.
