Help with shadow proxy

Recommended Posts

hello,

 

I have a problem with a strange shadow that forms with my model only for proxy.

What format are your textures for the main body of the car? _CO.tga? or _CA.tga?

 

Does the main body texture have any alpha channel parts.

This is 99% of the time due to an alpha channel, could be in the co or nohq

How would you fix this?

convert your source files into TGA's if they are not, and then open in photoshop and remove the alpha channel, save and try again.

Same as p1nga(s)?  suggested and make sure to separate any parts that need opacity to have their own texture and rvmat set.

What is happening is the _CA format being applied to a solid texture is causing a "ghosting" effect that only occurs when ambient occlusion settings are enabled, otherwise they are invisible. 

If you must have something that you want to be solid but also have gaps such as a fence, then you need to use the _co format.  
The downside to this is that there is no opacity, the texture is either opaque or it's not, there is no in between.
