Track Shadow and Lighting Tutorial is complete

In reply to questions about how were created shadows for latest F1Virtual's Melbourne 2012 track, I wished to tell you I started a tutorial about making track shadows and lighting.
I started with the basic : placing sunlight, but I try to add a chapter every day... yesterday it was about simple 2D automatic shadows and today I explained how to create correct shadows for objects above the ground...
So do not hesitate to have a sight from time to time for progressions if you are interested,

Regards,

Lo2k

Hi everyone,

Just a note to let you know I updated the guide with 3 new sections today :
- 3D shadows
- Tree shadows
- Tree shadows over walls

I hope it could help and give you an overview about this subject in some way...

This tutorial is approaching the end hopefuly...

Today I added a new section : wall and fences shadow

If I can, I will try to finish it tomorrow.

Edit : I also added "Walls in Shadows" and "Walls between light and shadows", so only "Shadows over fences" is yet missing to finish this quide.

I finaly added the last section of this guide.

I hope you will find it somewhat usefull and that it will give some help when you will come to add shadows to your track.

Enjoy, and as usual, have a nice time with GP4,
