Title: Glass Shadows_sort of
Post by: bobbystahr on February 05, 2016, 04:45:07 PM
In this image I doubled the sphere I displaced for the glass object and made it invisible with cast shadows. The colour in the shadow comes from the terrain which uses pretty much the same stack for texturing, glass shader included. The grass is masonpappy's for no other reason than it was the first one i encountered but most of you ought to have this so it seemed safe to use in a shared project.

Do the grass patches cast shadows?

It may be interesting, but one has to envision a use for it. In my work, I don't, so I didn't bother. But I really like your experiment, Bobby!!

I think they get blocked by the shadow cast by the invisible shadow caster Jochen

Understand Ulco...guess my method of dl-ing everything because y never know if/when you'll need it isn't every one's method....

I suspect I forgot to turn back on cast shadows on the grass as originally I was gonna make it glass...overkill so I scrapped the idea.
