I am trying to set up some advanced foliage for a scene and was wondering if there was a way for a specific material to cast shadows (like leaves) but not themselves receive them (but still receive traditional lighting from other sources) Thanks in advance, Alex

I’ve managed to solve this problem for myself, so hopefully you can make use of my solution. I’m using emissive color to overcome the self-shadowing. Hopefully the next UE4 update will finally include a toggle for ‘Receive Shadow’ Here’s the material I’m using for my leaves: [25263-leaves_bp.jpg…

Can a material cast shadows but not receive them
