My meshes are not casting shadows | Bevy | Page 1

For some reason, despite having a directional light with a cascadeshadowconfig, the meshes are not casting shadows on those around them, which leads to this weird visual where sunlight is visible on the mesh despite it being in a cave. Any idea as to what could be causing this? None of my meshes have a NoShadowReceiver or anything like that

Is it using a custom material?

Yes, it’s a triplanar mapping material

#

I honestly thought shadows were added over it

No, you'll need to do the shadow sampling yourself. Well, not entirely yourself, there are premade functions to help, but yeah, shadows need to be handled manually. I don't remember what those functions are right now though

You know where I could find them?
