SU shadows not matching
SU shadows not matching
Hi Whaat, Hi all.
I'm writing a new topic even if I know somewhere in the forum this topic has already been posted. This because I really want you developers focus a little on this: I know this should be a side-issue if compared to many more critical bugs, but it's been a while (a year maybe?) you know that, so maybe time has come to finally solve this. No hurry, absolutely: it's only that it's starting to be annoying, that's all.
I'm writing tutorials for the italian community (SkIndigo in particular) and while testing I got these results. I prepared a simple iterior scene, no complicated materials, and:
issue 1: when NOT using EXIT PORTALS, the rendered shadows never match the SU shadows.
issue 2: when using EXIT PORTALS, SU shadows match, but there are some minor problems with:
- Simple PT, which won't render sun's direct light
- MLT, which will render some odd artifacts.

For any further information please post here!
Sorry Whaat to bother again...

Re: SU shadows not matching
That's a good comparison, thanks Pibuz. I'll see what Ono has to say
Re: SU shadows not matching
I've notice that, but as an unexperienced user, i thought i was doing something wrong.
Re: SU shadows not matching
I think the light highlight may have something to do with the size - amount of light sources - and it's allowed movement in space. Soo therefore light traveling "end point" is different.

Hi Pibuz,
I'll have to take a look at this. I believe it is an Indigo issue, though.

Re: SU shadows not matching
Shadows not matching exactly is a known issue with Indigo.
Re: SU shadows not matching
uhm...So why are they matching when portals are ON and not in all cases?
This is a little confusing..
Is there something you can do Ono to fix this?

Re: SU shadows not matching
Maybe I could fix it with a bit of work.. Is it a big deal?

It depends, not having sun is considered in some parts of the world as bad, in some others something quite normal...OnoSendai wrote:Maybe I could fix it with a bit of work.. Is it a big deal?
Re: SU shadows not matching
If you could fix this in your spare time I'd be certainly glad
It is a small issue which is absolutely secondary...but REALLY TIRESOME!
