5.5.236 Latest$$$Note for users who tried version 5.5.235 (pre-release version): the elevation and rotation properties of the Directional Light have been updated. You need to update them in your game.$$$$$$??? Introducing basic support for shadows$$$Shadows in the example 3D car coin hunt$$$$$$Realistic shadows can now be rendered for 3D objects in your scenes using a Directional Light. By default; all new games and new scene layers now come with both a Directional Light and an Ambient Light. This gives a result similar to sunlight casting shadows in the real world.$$$$$$3D models and 3D cubes are now casting shadows. To make sure they appear properly:$$$Set the object’s material to Standard (not Basic; which doesn’t react to lighting).$$$Make sure Shadow Casting and Shadow Receiving are enabled.$$$This is done by default for new objects you create or import from the Asset Store.$$$Shadows are rendered around the camera on an area that is large enough for most games while giving still good quality results. This means they should work out of the box and be adapted to most games; including large maps.$$$You can adapt the quality of shadows; intensity of the light (and so shadows); the size of the rendered area by editing the 3D effects of the layer in the scene (as for other effects).$$$Note: power users may be interested to look at the new Advanced 3D Features community extension by @PANDAKO-GitHub. This is an unofficial extension but has many effects and features extending the 3D capabilities of GDevelop.$$$$$$Shadows in the advanced 3D platformer example$$$Shadows in the 3D platformer example.$$$$$$Some tweaks and changes to shadow rendering might happen in the next versions according to usability and performance (notably on mobile).
