Question

NPC's don't cast shadows?

Is there any way to get NPCs to cast a shadow? I don't see any settings on the asset to turn on cast shadows.

flarb When you say NPCs, do you mean NPCs you've made or the UAB NPCs?

Could you provide a screenshot of your NPCs?

Yeah, I mean the public asset NPCs. I noticed that your own avatar has sort of a fake projector blob shadow which is fine, but the NPCs have no such thing. Check the attached screenshot.

you can have a script that tracks the NPC to project a shadow with each update loop?

Yes, this would be a workaround.

or something poetic like NPCs have no soul?
