Moving Shadow


Best Answer Cintigolfer , 17 July 2017 - 10:11 PM

I figured out the problem. Somehow the lighting was set improperly in the Window > Lighting.

The Scale in Lightmap was set to .0128 instead of 1. After I fixed this, the strange shadow disappear.

I have a moving shadow issue on Pinehurst No. 2. Here is a picture of this.

As the ball flies, the shadow continues to move. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

Check your directional light, not under the terrain is it? don't know if that would cause this, prob something to do with lighting, check how many directional light objects you have in hierachy.  You also have a lot of tree cloning going on in the pic, might wanna break it up at certain points with taller/shorter and different variety, don't think pinehurst has fir trees? might be wrong.

I only have one direction light. Here are the settings.

From the pictures and videos I've seen, Pinehurst No. 2 has almost all pine trees.

The moving shadow was a problem on a couple of Skunky's courses including Avenel and San Antonio.  it was fixed so maybe he can help.

I've already checked with Skunky and his fix did not work. I seem to have a slightly different problem. I'll see if I can post a video later today to show the issue.

Might check how many terrains you have,  regarding the trees, you appear to have mainly fir trees judging on your pic..not pine.
