92F Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It might be the reflection map. I'm not understanding fully what the problem is. You said something about opening the car door and seeing tree shadows inside the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeahitman Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 yes ... when i get in the caprice ... and i open the doors ... you can see the shadow only in the door its very strange ... and its very strange cuz i downloaded a mercedes ... and it didnt have this problem .. almost all SPC cars have some kind off "custom shadows"...

92F Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hmmm, not too sure about this. This author may have put a reflection map inside the car by accident or intentionally. Try pm'ing or emailing the author to find out if he can fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexX Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 it's not a reflection issue. i can almost guarantee you that the "author" scaled the shadow mesh slightly bigger than the visible portions of the car, so the car is always in shadow, namely its own. You can see the shadow on the inside of the door when you open the door, because shadow meshes don't have any moving parts, so the door is opening past the shadow mesh, and is no longer occluded by its own shadow.

I explained the problem, and why the door is not affected when opened (or any other body part that is openable). The shadow mesh is too big. The solution is to make it smaller.
