shadows?

Post by iplayfast »

I saw a youtube video where the layout looked very different (possibly realthunder's version). One of the things that looked really useful was shadows. Is that implemented in .20 or .21? If so how to turn it on? (video used pie menu)

Unfortunately, you still have to use the Realthunder’s version for that. Maybe he will create a PR for his improved renderer one day.

Yea, that's Link branch for sure. @OficineRobotica has made a lot of YT clips about realthunder's features, shadows included. (https://www.youtube.com/c/OficineRobotica)
