Can we setup shadows opacity and color in Upbge 0.3 ?

As i said previously i’m not making a game in Blender to sell, Upbge 0.3 is too much early alpha, while Upbge 0.3 is great to toy with and have fun. I would have used those shadows colors and opacity for a new agme template demo but it’s not a must have for me. Perhaps it’s a feature Upbge could …

[image] How to colorize Eevee shadows? Materials and Textures Unfortunately availability of Light Path node in Eevee is quite limited. However you can use a trick with Shader to RGB node in material to get the effect you want (You can change color of diffuse shader/shadow)…

you can adjust the environment light and shadows in the shader editor world tap add a RGB node to adjust color [billede]

This changes all game ambient and lighting, after trying it. I was asking a way to change the shadows only like some 3D engines allow to do. I don’t think Eevee has that option.

if you want some shadows tinted, using spotlights is and option. example. [billede] remember to turn off shadow casting [billede]

It would cost too much performance putting spotlights all around a very big scene just ot have tinted shadows :joy: No work around, you need to have shadows on Gpu able to change the color and opacity, it’s a new feature to create.

That option can be made with spotlight as @edderkop said. You can simply use 1 or multiple spotlights and move them around the world. you can control the energy and color with python if needed. So bare basics is that you use 1 spotlight and move it around, and 1 lamp would not kill performance (use…

I mean all the open world shadows for every object anywhere must have shadows with a color and transparency.I don’t think womeone would spend days adding spotlights in all buildings, structures and behind any trees. No work around, Upbge is in very early alpha, far from good on post processing or g…

In regular BGE: a hemi light facing straight downwards works nicely to color shadows. In EEVEE, a super-large area light with shadows/specular disabled can do the same thing. This is a single light and it covers 3km of area. You could vertex-parent it to the player so that it “covers” even more. …

Thanks, but as i said some times, i don’t want to use a work around for this, i prefer a in engine shadows shader solution you just setup and it works with any sun or spot lights in the scene.
