Shadows

Post by RobotAttack »

Are shadows supported at all in VREP? I am working on a simulation and want it to look as realistic as possible. I think shadows would really help to "sell" it.

Any other advice to make it look as real-world as possible?

Thanks!

Hello,

we are planning to integrate a ray-tracing engine, in order to have realistic shadows (e.g. also soft shadows, etc.) and other features. At some point we also want to add an animation exporter (for cases where rendered images won't feed any image processing algorithm).

You can try to add some "noisy" texture via the Quick textures button in the shape properties. This usually makes surfaces a bit more realistic.

Cheers
