Player Model Shadows

[Davebrown]

Seems wierd me posting in this area.



Ok, quite simply, I need to know if the problem I have is on my end - or something wrong with the new garrysmod update.

I cant get a straight answer wherever I ask.

For me, dynamic shadows are not being cast from props, players or NPCs.


Is this the same for anyone else?

Please note I am NOT talking about shadows cast by map geometry.



An easy way to check this would be to simply look at the feet of any other player. Is there a shadow?




To clarify im running on the same settings I always have done, which are pretty much "max". Ive check all my settings for shadows etc and theyre all correct.

Usually intel is shitty and can't handle shaders, do you have an intel graphics card?'

I do, they suck :(

whats your definition of a dynamic shadow, dave?
also some comparison shots would be nice

 

[Davebrown]

Im not here to argue the definition of dynamic shadows.

I just want a simple yes or no answer from other people - can they see shadows under players when ingame.....because I cant, and I cant figure out why.

I can.
However, I can't when looking through a camera.

way to be retarded, i was just asking because theres a difference between a shadow that is cast by a projected texture (like flashlight) and the shadows that props/people/doors/stuff generally has.

I can't see my flashlight except on the eyes of models... Weird.

Im very much aware of the difference you self righteous tit...........im just saying i wanted a simple answer not an argument about the difference between shadow types.

I'll check this out next time I get on-server and take an SS. Pretty sure I haven't seen any real dominate shadows either.
