Rollout
- Shadows
With
the "Shadows" rollout you can calculate the shadows of 3D Objects. After
the first calculation the modify will
be in REALTIME.

Invert
the normals of the faces to calculate the shadows.Some 3D modeling software exports the normal of faces with "Right Handed Axis ". 3D GeniuX support shadow only for objects with "Left Handed Axis ". You can solve the problem in 3D GeniuX with the options "Invert Calculate Shadow" on "Shadow" roolout.

Greate
a pierced Cube in your modeling software and export it with "Right
Handed Axis". |

Incorrect
shadows generation in 3D GeniuX because it support "Left
Handed Axis". |

In
3D GeniuX "Shadows" rollout activate "Inver Calculate Shadow"
to correct the shadows generation. |
1. Start a new 3D GeniuX project with a resolution of 640x480 pixel
2. Load a Background image
3. Load from
the
objects Box

An object does not generate shadow
Some 3D modeling software exports the normal of faces with "Right Handed Axis ". 3D GeniuX support shadow only for objects with "Left Handed Axis ". You can solve the problem in 3D GeniuX with the options "Invert Calculate Shadow" on "Shadow" roolout.
Artifacts on object surface
This artifacts follow the structure of polygonal surface, for exaple if you have been created some faces in a wrong way or you have an object with low detail. You can correct the polygonal surface with your modeling software.
The objects with transparency does not create a correct shadow
3D GeniuX does not support trasparency surfaces, and it creates a fill solid shadow.
