Shadows and non closed models problem

[YouGroove]

I have wrong shadows when cylinders don't have closing caps ( model faces optimisation )

Are non closed models supported by LE3 ?

The model is composed of two non closed objects, is this "non standard" with LE3 conventions perhaps ?

(then i should merge as one object ?)

 

 

 

Second test :

Reversing normals of pillars makes all shadows look good , but they are then invisible in the level.

 

The model FBX file is attached to test.

It's working as intended. We can debate which side the shadow pass should draw, or whether it should draw both sides, but as of now it is working as intended.

That's right i checked and it's a common way of how shadows works with non closed meshes, the only solution seems to make closed volumes.

This is a good demonstration why it's probably best to use back-facing polygons in the shadow render. I think that will just work the way the user intends the majority of the time.

Other option is to try making the material 2-sided.
