texlights and shadows Created 9 years ago2014-11-18 14:17:49 UTC by Tsaras

The following scene is lit by a texlight which I want to project the grid's shadow on the floor:The grid and the surrounding pillars are all func_details. As you can see the pillars are producing shadows while the grid is not. The floor texture is scaled down on purpose to increase the lightmap resolution.

While using a normal light entity the grid has a nice shadow:

I can't speak for anyone else but all I see are black Images.

It is indeed harder to see in the images than ingame like me but the point is: texlight - no visible shadow from the grid.

that's what texture lights are for, they simulate light coming from a surface/an area rather than a point, avoiding harsh shadows
