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?

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"...

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.

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.

and its prety much all spc cars that i have ... theres any solution for

this mate ?

Yes, read my last post. 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.

i was searching arround .. and i found it that the "shadow mesh stuff" is inside the vehicle collision file ... any away i downloaded the collision editor 2.. but how do i export the right col in the car ? i used Kam script .. and i only can export a single part of the car ...and in the "collision I0" what i supose to do in there?.. theres 2 options there "collision mesh" and "shadow mesh" and other 3 buttons "COL1" "COL2" "COL3" what do i supose to do there ??

Do i have to attach the hole car into only one object ?

 

 

In the Collision Editor i was trying to edit the shadow mesh of chassi_vlo ... what option do i have to use to make the shadow mesh smaller ??
