Detailed Description

Shader Shadow Live class.

Use the Live Shadow shader to apply real-time shadows to models. You can specify shadow intensity as well as the lights and objects that cast shadows in a scene.

There are two methods to create a FBShaderShadowLive object: using the FBShaderManager, or simply by instantiating a class object explicitely.

Note:: Please consult the application documentation for more infos on shader properties and their effects.

Warning:: This class should not serve as a base class for another class.

Sample C++ code:

    // Create a shadow shader.
    HFBShaderShadowLive lShader = new FBShaderShadowLive( "New Shader" );

    // Add a cube in its list of affected objects.
    HFBModel lModel = FBFindModelByName( "Cube" )
    if( lModel )
    {
        lShaderShadowLive.Add( lCube );
    }

Sample Python code:

    from pyfbsdk import *

    # Create shader.
    lShader = FBShaderShadowLive( 'New Python Shader' )

    # Find a cube to put in our list of affected objects.
    lModel = FBFindModelByName( 'Cube' )
    if lModel:
        lShader.ShadowCasterProperty.append( lModel )
