Dynamic shadows

Post by MxWayGamer »

Hi JLV (and other players) !

I know, this subject isn't new but I didn't find a recent topic about it.
Why MX Simulator didn't have a shadow systems ? In the past, I think is about the power of computer but now, lot of player have a "good" pc and can run MX Simulator with 125FPS and more and the game is playable with only 60FPS.

Why you don't try to implement this systems now ? I ask it because I watched MX Bike edit and it's very beautiful with rider shadow.

Thanks for your answers !

Then we'll just make it a settings toggle and you can have it off??

I will say the same ^^ Players with little pc switch off shadow and other people can switch on. Or may be with intermediate level like "Only object shadown", "only rider shadow", etc...

I think it have something to do with the game engine. This engine is very poor and power eater, it’s a really old game engine that can’t cast live shadows I’m affraid…

Dang. The terrain engine was basically rewritten from the ground up in the past year and supports features that no other engine I'm aware of can do. What do I have to do to get some respect?

As far as shadows go, in the past I put it off because I knew people would just disable it to gain FPS. At this point the integrated GPU in my laptop never drops a frame. So yeah, shadows are definitely a higher priority now.

I'm curious about what limitations this would have if you have any idea. Would you want the shadows to be just casted from the rider or would they be able to be casted from statues in the environment as well?
