SHADOW

If this flag is set, a model casts a dynamic shadow.

flag

This flag can be set in WED as well.
Casting a shadow can increase the model rendering time by around 50%.
For reducing the rendering time, shadows are projected from the model's next LOD step if it exists. This can be adjusted by shadow_lod.
A model can cast z buffer or stencil buffer shadows. Some restrictions apply - see shadow_stencil.
Z buffer shadows are projected by the sun. The shadow direction results from the sun azimut and elevation (sun_angle). Stencil shadows are projected by the sun or by dynamic light sources (CAST).
Stencil shadows are only cast by completely non-transparent models. The model skin must not contain an alpha channel.
The transparency of stencil shadows can be set through mat_shadow.alpha (default = 50). Their color can be set through mat_shadow.diffuse_blue, mat_shadow.diffuse_green, and mat_shadow.diffuse_red (default = 0,0,0 = black).
