if it has an action, make a material in the code and put in the action "my.material = theMaterialVonmanMade;"
or you can go to MED and edit its material properties there. search through the manual for "materials". also, i think some variable has to be set to make the sun be treated as a dynamic light.

I'm not an expert, but did you export your terrain from MED? If so did you alter the ambience? I did the same this and my entire terrain is too lit up and looks cartoony, until I realised that you can adjust how much the light affects the terrain in MED (A6 as far as I know). Now my terrain has low ambience and is only lit based on the intensity and distance of lights (dynamic or static) and sunlight. I hope this helps.

It's my first day in this forum and I love to stick my nose in everything that has not yet been responded to, if I think that I may have a solution of course, because I had the same problem, but I'm sure you would have figured it out eventually as I did. I'm just a newbie, but I'm glad I could help.

DaBro0zar, you might want to check out the shadow map creation utility I uploaded at Acknex resource site Here, sounds like it might be what you need.
Not two, not one.

Well, I have not yet tried this, but how about you choose the angle of your sunlight over the terrain you created and leave the terrain a flat grey or white. Then switch the camera view from above and export the shadow.
It's just a thought...
