Now it looks as it should:

In radiant ( just common/caulkshadow ):

In radiant ( common/caulkshadow and model ):

...and yes, its a fast light compile.

( God damn, that took a long time for something no one else but me would have noticed in a millon years

well its sure worth it nj, so did you just make an outling of the plane model with common_caulk shadow?

Well basically, yo just have to see to it that the sunlit side is not covered with common_caulkshadow, else the side in the sun will become shadowed as well ( see an earlier post )

Well, yes, but the best way is to have it totally inside the model. That way you dont have to redo the brushes if you move the lightsource ( that would be the sun

)
