No Shadows

I have an interior scene lit by the Skylight only and some ceiling spots which are working well.

Have left the Lightmass settings on default apart from changing the Static Level Lighting Scale to 0.35.

My issue is that I am not getting any shadow’s from chair legs, even contact shadows.

Any common reasons for this?

Many thanks

Could you supply a picture of your lightmass settings, the actual scene with the chair and light settings?

Sorrry, getting used to how to reply with a photo! The only |LightMass change was what I mentioned with the scale size

Seem to have resolved it by ramping up the lightmass resolution on the floor…bit of a learning curve!

I had exactly the same issue than JimGood, with the same lighting setup, and similary interior.

I tried to add a Directional Light, but same result. I can create my owe topic, but it’s exactly the same issue, so If Jimgood is ok, I post my test here.

So, I did fews tests : add directional Light, increase lightmap’s floor ( 2048 ), increase World Settings ( 0.35 / 100 / 5 / 10 )
But still no shadows.

I know, is it possible, because I bought Evermotion ArchInterior for UE4, and you can see :

This scene use exactly the same lighting setup ( just bp_skyphere + skylight / directional light ) and he has a nice shadows.

Concern me, you can see my result, and differents settings on attachments.

No shadows.

Disable “Texture Streaming” in project settings -> rendering.

Are you baking with production settings? Is 2048 large enough for how the floor is UV’d?

Set the directional light to Stationary, there’s some advantages over static (which should generally only be used for less important lights when you are already using some stationary lights).

@Luoshuang > I disabled it, but no really changes.

@> Zac >** Yep, production, 2048 is fine for the floor.

I did same tricks than JimGood : I set 0.1 in static light and 10 in quality in world setting, and I see the contact shadows !

It’s better, but not perfect ( and very very long build time ). Is it impossible to have better ?

ZacD, when I switch to Stationnary, I’ve artefacts on walls :confused:
