How to get dynamic shadows on translucent surface?

[Arlyn]

Hi Haoris,

Found this on an Answer Hub post https://answers.unrealengine.com/que…ml?sort=oldest

Have you tried this? I think it will let the translucent material both receive and cast dynamic shadows.

Material: Blend Mode: Translucent Two-Sided: True Lighting Mode: Surface Translucency Volume

Then for your mesh placed in the level select it. In it’s Details Panel make sure that Volumetric Translucent Shadow is set to True.

This will cast a shadow from a translucent material, however the more opaque the material the more you’ll notice artifacts on the mesh itself.
