Black foliage in shadows since update to 4.4.1

linusholm_1 · September 7, 2014, 11:19am

The foliage becomes black in the shadows(image 1). If I create a new level(image 2) everything works fine, but in the level I converted to 4.4.1 it gets completely black!

And yes, I have Built the light, I use SkyLight and the foliage have a 2nd UV for the Light Map.

Any ideas?

Hey linusholm -

What version of the editor was your original project created in before converting it to 4.4.1?

Thank You

I upgraded from 4.4.0. After a bit more investigation I’m not sure if it has to do with the conversion. If I turn off Cast Shadows on the SkyLight the black shadows disappear which means it looks all right. How come?

It would be nice if I could use Cast Shadows on the SkyLight though.

Thanks for the reply!

Hey -

Do you have a Cubemap plugged into your Sky Light Actor?

No, I use the SLS Captured Scene as Source Type for my SkyLight Actor.

Hey -

Do you have a sphere reflection capture actor in the level and if so what are you settings on that actor? Also what are the settings for your skylight (intensity)?

Thank You
