Its not much, but right now its also unrealistic.. right now you are a vampire or a ghost.. isn't possible because its hardcoded? or did you guys never thought about it?

im preattyh sure its hard coded liek the whole can't see your legs thing.

Meh, missing shadow - that's a detail.


Right now you can't even see your legs when you look down. This is a normal FPS. There are not many FPS games where you can see your body (that therefore casts shadows). I can think of FEAR and that's about it (I don't count ArmA or OFP to FPS category).

Crysis, ETQW, and a few others have a first person body. There is no model to cast a dynamic shadow, thus there can't be one in first person, sorry.

thats alright it was just a question

Actually your shadow is casted sometimes, but not directly below you.

I've seen my own shadow before when standing on a hill, and it is casted on a tree branch or something.

On Qwai with the sunsetting, I've seen someone's shadow infront of me extended for ages, as you'd expect.

I still find it funny that when you're in a vehicle, the only shadow you see is a floating gun.

im pretty sure its possible, but then ud have to skin the legs.

its like in CSS, where if you're spectating someone, u can see their own shadows but its like extended away from the body which looks weird, but if u imagine where ur legs would be, it looks fine

In GRAW you can see your legs but your own shadows, its not really that much important.
i don't even have he shadows settings up.
