Here's a pic of our T-47 Airspeeder...



This shadow problem has to be something with the model. Any ideas how to fix it?

look for a topic with "evil shadow bleed" in the title, that should have all you need.

I was unable to locate such a thread... can you link me to it?

LMAO! You have the shadow curse too? Our modeller fixed a helicopter with it.

BTW, here's something...

Shadows bleeding are ALWAYS due to modelling errors:

-coplanar faces : causes surface shimmering and in some occasions shadow leaks

- Internal vertical faces: when using the extrusion sub-modelling technique you always have the original face left. If you don't delete it, you're 100*% sure to get bleeding.

- flipped faces

- non closed surfaces at the top of the model: the shadow projection goes top bottom. If for some reason there is no top face, but only a bottom one, you're probably going to have shadow problems.


It can take some time to find the offending polygons or gaps, but it is always possible to solve the problem...

[Chrizz]

Doh thats whas EA's bug not mine

I fixed my shadow problems by simply welding all the vertecies in the effected area.

[DeathAngel]

yeah, thats the first thing you should try.
after that, check if there are any open edges (while sub-selecing edge)
and the other thread somebody said the "caphole" modifier would often help.
