Shadow

Hey guys , have a little problem here , uhm just one question , HOW TO ADD SHADOW to the terrain?
Just like the image below.

Thanks

Try using destructables with non-models.Then choose a texture path for shadows.

You mean , i will make a shadow manually?

I tried to remove those trees at the terrain and the shadow still remain and unremovable, they re not doodads and terrains and im searchin what is it.

Well thanks for your reply ^_^
I still need more answers about this

yea its most likely like Almia said, its just some destructable/dooadad which has no pathing(wont block units), has no model but has shadow's model

You can easily make shadows with a unit giving it the Locust ability so it is uncontrollable then put a blank path for the model it uses. the only thing that will remain is the shadow which you can increase or decrease by sizing the unit.

One other way is by using a shadow model that used to be somewhere here on the hive and shadow your terrain by handwork but that tends to raise the doodad amount quite a lot. And i cant seem to find the model anymore, perhaps somewhere in the forum.


p.s. the shadows on that screenshot look very strange and abnormal.

Ive never really used it but you could use File > Calculate Shadows

 

[edo494]

yea, but that will not make your shadows bigger or get created at places where there are no models

Maybe I was wrong(according to the post under mine)

Sorry Arhowk :/
