card shadow doesnt change

[sweet steeple]

haha yes im being very very picky

[warm maple]

NOOOOO I CAN'T UNSEE IT

actually i wonder why this is the case in the first place, I would expect the scene to have like a light of some sort that would be illuminating them

and therefore the shadows would be procedural

but apparently they are custom

?

[sly hare]

I think they’re just static

Probably just a black square with an alpha value

[pale stirrup]

that's

such a tiny detail

[pale stirrup]

that would be a lot more work lol and also a lot more resource intensive

its just a skewed image im pretty sure

[warm maple]

it definitely would not have been more work but yeah computer would be struggling more

in unity you can just set the light source and make the cards vertical or smth

[pale stirrup]

there're no built-in tools for 2D shadow casting as far as i'm aware

in unity i mean

[warm maple]

why would it have to be 2d though

[pale stirrup]

there are lights sure but for shadow casting you need to install packages or whatever

[warm maple]

any project in unity is technically 3d

[pale stirrup]

...because you have to draw the shadows on a 2D texture?

[pale stirrup]

you wouldn't be able to cast a 3D shadow on a 2D texture without having all the 2D textures being 3D planes which i assume is not the case for wildfrost as they seem to just have offset layering for a 3D effect

[warm maple]

okay yeah i didn't know about the offset

becuase they do kinda look like they are 3d planes

[pale stirrup]

it's kinda like parallax backgrounds but not quite

[warm maple]

i get it but like

I imagined this to be built in a different way

okay got it

[pale stirrup]

nope its animated via tweens through in-game code to look 3D
