Title: MMP Shadow Problem
Post by: nbvc on May 11, 2012, 10:33:30 PM
I have a shadow problem with the MMP trees from c.p. http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2791

On large trees the shadow gets cut off.

I also tried to create my own MMP for the palm, but had the same problem. If I place the same palm prop on a lot, the shadow looks correct.

Does anybody no why this happens and how to fix it?

Sometimes this happens and all you have to do is change zooms or rotate.

I notice the palm is rotated differently on the lot as it is in the MMP.  Does the prop shadow have a problem when the angle is the same?

Zoom or rotate does not help. The orientation of the palm also has no effect.

I have fount out that the shadow ends after 2 tiles. ()what()

Hmm, I'm not getting that problem for the Tupelo.  I also don't see a full grown palm in my menu, did you mod this yourself?

:) .   Still a little strange, my shadows become blurry on the medium level.
