bc 71 Posted April 3 (edited) I have created an image prop from a photo. It represents the view of the landscape as it would be seen from inside a room looking out a window. The problem is that the image prop blocks out the heliodon sun rays. See before and after shots below. Is there a way to have VW show the image prop but still let the sunshine in? Thanks bc Edited April 3 by bc Quote Share this post Link to post
0 PVA - Jim 2,314 Posted April 3 Select the texture the Image Prop is using in the Resource Manager, then right click > Edit, you should be able to uncheck "Cast Shadows" in the texture edit dialog and then light wont affect it any longer. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
0 bc 71 Posted April 3 JIM, I spoke too soon I was so confident it would work. I adjusted the textures to no avail. Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post
0 PVA - Jim 2,314 Posted April 3 If you can, pop that image prop into a file on its own and post it here, should be fixable. Quote Share this post Link to post
0 Andy Broomell 691 Posted April 3 That "cast shadows" function only work with Renderworks styles, I believe. OpenGL will cast the shadows regardless of this setting. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

0 PVA - Jim 2,314 Posted April 5 That trick worked for me in Renderworks, did it not for you? In OpenGL it wont be possible as it can't handle complex texture properties. Quote Share this post Link to post
