Shadow: how to change size?

[dkrnl]

Hi!

Problem: some shadows are cropped (see attached picture).
Question: How can i change shadow size (floor plane size) ?

That seems like a bug; we set the shadow plane size internally to avoid this kind of thing. Is this model animated? That's one difficult case, as it's hard to calculate the size of the scene. Can you give a repro link?

Hi!
Sorry for delay in reply. Model in attachment archive: figura_new_1.zip

Ah, indeed the problem is the animation; we make the shadow plane 3x larger than the resting pose because we can't tell how large the model might get on any given frame (and recalculating it each frame is very expensive). I would recommend adding some tiny invisible fixed geometry at the bounds of your largest animation frame (degenerate triangles for instance). That will allow us to know the full size of the scene initially and size things properly.

@elalish thank you very much!
