Foliage not recieving shadows

Ryper

Hi guys

I'm currently working on some foliage for my latest scene, and have just placed some grass to get an idea to what it might look like. However i have a problem and the grass is not receiving shadows. Here is a screen to show what I mean.



I'm using a dominant directional light, and the grass is placed using the foliage tool. (1 clump is a static mesh though and still no shadows)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Grass mesh has proper lightmap uvs I take?

What does the material look like? If you look in lighting only view, does it look ok there?

Is the grass material non emissive? Have you tried realtime shadows from the directional light?

I managed to get it fixed, was a fairly simple problem.

In the foliage tool i just disabled "use precomputed shadows".

Before hand the planes where not receiving any light, just pure black. now its all sorted. now just to tweak the grass material


Thanks for the quick replies though guys.
