I'm making curtains but an confused about the shadow meshes both the main mesh and the shadow mesh have the same cut number. It looks like the shadow mesh is vertex painted but I'm not sure. How do I handle this?

Hi mayray89 , the puppet curtain has no shadow mesh group in LODs 0 and 1. Both contain a single mesh group and it is numbered cut 0. If you give your LOD 0 main mesh a cut number of 0 it will replace this mesh when you import your LOD 0 back to the .package. The same is true for LOD 1. Shadow LOD 0 is the shadow LOD and it contains the shadow mesh. This is used to cast shadows if the curtain is placed outside in the sun. It is grey because it has no textures applied to it in the game and it has no vertex paint. In the game this LOD is not visible. It is used by the game engine as a shadow caster. It has a cut number of 0 also because there is only one mesh group in the shadow LOD. You should give your shadow mesh group a cut number of 0 also. Then when you import Shadow LOD 0 your shadow mesh will replace this shadow mesh inside the shadow LOD. Studio looks at the LOD group name and number as well as the cut number when deciding what mesh to replace. It will not replace a mesh in LOD 0 with the mesh you're importing to Shadow LOD 0 no matter what cut numbers you use. |
