Putting shadows on doublesided polygons

Post by [TFA]Padawan_Fighter »

This may be a task impossible to do, but I don't think it would hurt to ask. Would it be possible to have a shadow on a polygon that is doublesided?


(For those of you who don't understand, this is what I'm talking about)

Yes. Why would it not be possible?

You shouldn't even have to worry about a shadowvolume polymesh for that; just tag your mesh with a .option file with -hiresshadow.

It didn't seem to work. I put -hiresshadow on there, but it's still the same.
