oSceneLoader - problems with shadows

Hi!

I'm having problems adding shadows to me scene. Only the STENCIL shadows are working, when I try to use RTT shadows, theres no shadows in the scene. I'm exporting me scene to OSM file and then loading it with the oSceneLoader demo.

I really would like to use RTT shadows, since they'r cheaper then the stencil ones, and if theres a posibility of doing it automaticly under oFusion it would be great

What am I doing wrong? Is that an oF problem, the loader code, or my

This is the part of ogre.log for oSceneLoader:

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

In the Shadows demo (from the Ogre SDK), are the texture shadows working in your machine?

Forgot to say that, but yes, no problems in the demo, so its not an hardware issue.

I was able to fix this issue, you can say it was my fault

What I was working on was a groung plane and an object in the midle of it, casting shadow.

Well, in max, every object has 'cast shadows' and 'recive shadows' enabled by default. For some reason, when the plane had both enabled, only the stencil shadows were visible. After I changed the plane only to 'recive', the texture shadows also showed up

So sorry, my mistake

In Texture shadows an object cant be a shadow caster and receiver at the same time

To set the shadow casting property, right click on object, select "Properties..." and "Cast Shadows"

The receive shadows property is handled at the material level, upgrade or assign an oFusion material to the object to select it

Are the texture shadows visible in the preview viewport?
