ah thanks esper i´ll look into it and try to help you.

EDIT: esper is right. but i can not figure out why this happens.

How many polygons / vertices does it have? It looks too dense especially since GS smoothes the material. So such a dense mesh is not needed.

It might be that it has too many vertices and that is the reason for creating wrong shadow extrusions.

i don´t think that there´re to many polys..

shadows of a model with 12000 Polys are normal.. This mode, has only 3576..

Yes. That should be ok.

Im not much of a modeller, so I dont know IF this is related to the problem,
But open the model in MED, goto "faces" mode, and "edit/select all".

Then roll the 3d-view around until you are looking at the "top" of the head/ears.
See those black marks on the ears? What are they anyone?
Damaged polys, flipped normals, or what? The dont belong but I cant
figure out what they are...

yes.. i see..

hmm.. in normal view, they´re not visible, even when i activate "show backface"... They´re just visible if i mark the model..
Edit: And i can´t select them o.O

Im sorry i still dont have a "fix", but I may have found a way to highlight
the (many) problem polygons. I think it is possibly caused by import errors.

Open in WED, goto to faces mode, then select JUST ONE polygon, then keep
clicking on "select touching" button until no more selection is being added.
You will see this leaves a LOT of unselected polys.
This doesnt make sense, because if you hit "select connected" it will select
ALL the polys.
AND which polys end up not selected varies depending on where the start poly was too.

O.o

So maybe build your model again in a different program (if you haven't already done that?) and import again?
If you build it in another program in the first place, see if everything's right there...

New Shadow Question...:

Can it be: Sprite Entities can´t throw a stencil shadow?

ok.. little performance question:

is this normal:

I put 1 lightsource into my level. the level is a hollowed block. inside are 50 models ( 1 playfield and 49 rasterblocks on it ). Each model has the SHADOW Flag activated.
The lightsource is a dynamic light, with active CAST flag.
When i make a testrun, the FPS drop down to 10-20..
Why???

Pc.:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2,30GHz
3GB DD2 Ram
NVidia GeForce 9400GT

How can this be???
