Shadow was present! Even native D3D9 with Intel on Win1 Reply 13 of 14, by Degeĭege wrote on, 19:45: Meanwhile I tried dgVoodoo + Intel Graphics 530 with this game on Win10. Yeah, on native windows 7 there's a shadow, on native windows 10 there isn't. I don't yet know what the shadow presence depends on, but it seems to be a thing coming from the difference of Win7/win10.ĭon't ask why it works with other wrapper then. ? ).īut generating the mesh data itself is completely done by the game. Shadow is calculated into the face mesh (into texture coordinates) that are processed in a later stage in the vertex shader and the result is passed to the pixel shader to compose the final face texture from a base face texture + a skin color lookup texture (+ others. TBH, examining a rendered frame of the game reveals that the hair shadow is not dependent on the hair texture. Win 7: hair shadow is there, see my screenshot The thing is interesting, because dgVoodoo behaves the same as native D3D9: Thanks, I tried your second option and now I can reproduce the problem with that test-card.

If that's too much of a pain I'll ask some people to try to make an isolated standalone mod that could demonstrate it too. You don't need any mods except for what already comes with the torrent file so disregard the "IMPORTANT" part. You can get the compressed preinstalled repack from here, and that should open the character properly and display the issue. That's why it isn't displaying properly, the shadows are only gone on transparent textures.

I cannot see a bug here, Win7, Win10 and dgVoodoo (DX11, DX12) all work the same way here, on my test cases.Īh, I didn't think you had a vanilla install and weren't using a repack that already comes with some mods. See the attached pictures, native Win7 (I accidentally swapped the file names.) The situation is the same natively on both Win10 and Win7. Strangely(?), the hair casts shadow if I open the character from the game (AA) and it does not when rendered in the editor (AA2Edit). Loading the card you linked to, the character appeared with completely black skin and brown hair, for some reason.īut, I edited it and created a new character based on that. I've just checked out AA2 and the shadow bug you reported.
