Hi,

How can i get my object in the BGE to drop shadows?
Is it done by baking?

Thank you

what do you mean to drop shadows?

There is the object shadow, shadow on the object itself.
And there is drop-shadow, shadow that is cast on the surface were the object is standing on.

well written, and easy to follow with a demo blend included.
Shadows is about two thirds of the way down.

If GLSL works, then just use shadow buffer lamps.

thanks, but i have moving textures in one scene that will only work with texture face materials.
Is it possible to change these settings between scenes?
