Hey guys,
Please point me in the right direction, what am i missing here:
// tmp
l = new DirectionalLight();
l.ambient = 1;
l.ambientColor = 0xFFFFFF;
l.color = 0xFF0000;
l.x = 0;
l.y = 10;
l.z = 100;
l.castsShadows = true;
_view.scene.addChild(l);
var s:SoftShadowMapMethod = new SoftShadowMapMethod(l);
for(var i:uint = 0; i < ObjectContainer3D(_car).numChildren; i++){
TextureMaterial(Mesh(ObjectContainer3D(_car).getChildAt(i)).material).shadowMethod = s;
}
LightsHelper.addStaticLightToMaterials(_car as ObjectContainer3D, l);
LightsHelper.addStaticLightToMaterials(_road as ObjectContainer3D, l);
Both _car and _road have their children’s (meshes) castShadow set to true, I’m still not seeing ant shadows.
Thanks ^^

This actually works but the shadow was unexpectedly far.

Well actually I’m still having problems  my _car is exacly on the _road, and it doesn’t project any shadow on it. So I’ve tried putting a sphere on the scene, which has shadows as soon as I lift it from the road. Obviously this is not an option for me, the car has to be on the road all the time, so is there any way to project the shadow?
Thank you,
Z.

since noone took a second to look at my code and i figured it out almost 24 hours later, i’d like to post the solution, in case someone is having similar issues: the problem was that my whole scene was too small. it was so small that (i suppose) the shadow casting thought that the car is too small to have a shadow. i increased my models by 20 and shadows work now. they’re not too pretty tho

Well this size issue couldn’t be guessed by looking at your code 
I did take a look, but never messed with LightsHelper.addStaticLightToMaterials
Still, if you didn’t already, you might want to play with camera.lens.near and camera.lens.far values to get better looking shadows. Also try out the different shadowMethods if you didn’t.

I think the light’s position was a good clue. Thanks tho

Are shadows functional with Orthogonal lens? I can’t seem to get it to work at all. Thanks
