Anyone knows how to change the lightning of custom objects? because im using a custom object for the area51 and its looking like this https://imgur.com/a/3UQEZjj

I just want to make shadows in MTA, like in this video: (at 2:33) There is a dynamic light shader with shadows, but it has so many bugs.

Hi! I just searched for lighting effects, and i found a shader for XNA. Its an Ambient and Diffuse lighting shader with Shadow Maps: #define GENERATE_NORMALS #include "mta-helper.fx" //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // File: BasicRender.fx // // Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

The diffuse and the ambient light works correctly, but not generating shadows. Any Idea?
