Hi I am trying to add shadows but so far have none . I have been using
Code: Select all
CreateLight(1,RGB(10,10,10),500,500,500,#PB_Light_Directional)
Code: Select all
WorldShadows(#PB_Shadow_Additive,100,#Black)
EntityRenderMode(1,#PB_Entity_CastShadow)
What I want to do is simulate the sun and have shadows .
Thanks for reading

You set your shadow distance to 100 so no shadow for objects that are further away from the camera. Try to increase this number first. There is also a WorldShadows.pb example in the Examples\3D folder. That is a working code so it's worth studying.

Thanks for the reply Krix I will go and look at the example . I'm getting up to speed with PB now . I've been studying and experimenting for nearly 4 months and I think PB is worth the bother. Really looking forward to OpenGL when it's had terrain bug ironed out . Has anybody any idea when OpenGL
will be fully functional . I would settle for DirectX9 but for some reason DrawText doesn't want to work with it . Is there an alternative or work around or a different way to get my scoring and other 2d stuff on to the screen .
Thanks for reading .

Since you are using 3D can you not use the Text3D commands?

I did look at that and I'm gonna go back over it in detail. Once the terrain issue in OpenGL is sorted I'll be using that.
Thanks for the suggestion . I'll post back when I have tried it .
