Battlestar255 4 Posted February 7, 2019 so I have been making a model for Arma 3 i have it all textured I have all my needed LODS. I have imported this into Arma and my model looks like this https://imgur.com/a/Q5Gy6lQ. I do not know what is going on here and why my stair case on the inside is causing a shadow through my Model.

m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 8, 2019 More than likely there is an issue with the shadow lod. It it must be closed. Have sharp edges. And be triangulated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Battlestar255 4 Posted February 8, 2019 I checked my model in Object builder and used the Find Non-Closed button and nothing is highlighted. and my Model is triangulated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 8, 2019 Does it have sharp edges? is that whole bluish part glass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Battlestar255 4 Posted February 8, 2019 The Edges were not Sharp so I added that and it still transparent. https://imgur.com/a/0WTehQD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 8, 2019 Do you have the correct named properties in your geo lod? To make sure the shadowlod is being used? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I do know you need to make sure the shadow lod does not protrude outside the main resolution lod volume. So I always shrink my shadowlod down slightly.

Battlestar255 4 Posted February 8, 2019 I even remade the shadow LODand it still is transparent. it is closed and sharp. i even remade the Geo Lod and made sure it is Convex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 8, 2019 If you want to hit me up on discord and pass me the model I can take a look at it for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Battlestar255 4 Posted February 8, 2019 it was actually the Shadow LOD There was still one spot that was not closed so once it was Closed the Shadow is gone. Thank you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
