Volume Shadows?

[jg33]

Heya- Great work on Bakery- saved me an incredible amount of time!

I'm not sure if this is an issue or just not possible, but objects in volumes don't seem to self-shadow- light passes through and illuminates the back of the object. Is that just how the volumes work or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks! :)

Are the objects dynamic? Did you bake in Full Lighting mode? What is your render pipeline?

Thx for the quick response!

Objects are dynamic, baked in full lighting, built-in pipeline!

So do you mean dynamic objects don't receive shadows from static objects or just the lack of dynamic-dynamic self-shadowing?

[jg33]

Dynamic objects don’t seem to be self-shadowing from static lights, i.e. the far side of an object from a light is as lit as the side facing the light.

Oh. Are you using a volume-compatible shader? E.g. Bakery Shader with "Enable volumes" option? And do you have Bakery Direct Light on the same GameObject as your real-time light (if you have any)? Can you post some screenshots of the scene, the component (inspector) and Bakery render settings?

[jg33]

Other than the self-shading, the volume seems to be working great! I’m using the proper shader and bakery point lights.

The light:

Bakery Settings:

Thanks!

Looks like the pics didn't attach to your message...

[jg33]

oh sorry- I guess GH email replies don't include them.

[guycalledfrank]

Hmm is your volume set to "Is Global"? And can it be that it's just too low resolution?

[jg33]

volume is set to global. It seems fairly high-res (33 tex /unit)?

[guycalledfrank]

Indeed it's pretty high res... Not sure what's wrong then. Is it possible for you to send me a little test project to debug? Only the nearest shadow casting/receiving objects are needed + your configured lights (but no textures, sounds, scripts, etc).
