ViewCargo problem with sun?!

[Stiltman 3]

Hey, im having this issue i cant seem to figure out, been testing alot of things and gone through all pages of the editing forum here :)

problem is that when in cargo of the vehicle the sun glare is going through the body and blinding you, also things in the cargo feel unusually bright, and when going to third person outside everything is really bright before it adjusts.

any thoughts?

Did you make a ShadowVolume - Cargo lod? It should contain just a box that encloses your whole interior geometry.

[Stiltman 3]

yeah, shadowVolume - view cargo is there with a big box that is bigger than the interior.

hmm, unsure if this fixed it or not. but i had a look at the "view - cargo - geometry" lod, and it was exactly the same in my model as the "shadowvolume - view cargo", (big square hard edge)

so i tried copy parts of the view geometry to the view cargo one, not entirely sure but feel like the "seethrough sun" is gone.

white parts inside the cabin still shine bright like they were affected by sunlight though and exiting or 3rd person is really bright before adjusting.

could the "view - cargo - geometry" have made the issue of the sun?

Are the normals of the shadow volume perhaps oriented in the wrong direction?

And the "always in shadow" settings of the vertices isn't available anymore in the new version of O2 ?

I think that governed vertex lighting not shadow casting or 'light blocking'.

Yep but that's how i understood this :

I might be wrong though.

I see what you mean. He can adjust the lighting in the rvmat since those vertex properties are no longer available.

Ah ok, so it has changed. Thanks.

please reveal your solution once it is found!

any thoughts?

In your 'ShadowVolume - View Cargo' LoD does it have double-sided poly's, triangulated, with all sharp-edges?

In your 'View-Cargo' LoD what are the details of the .rvmat(s) (if any) you have mapped to the inside?

[Stiltman 3]

the 'ShadowVolume - View Cargo', i made it same way you make any shadow lod, also tried copying one straight off the A1 sample model strykers, still same results.

although i have tried a bit diffrent rvmats, this is the current and first used rvmat for the interior.
