Is it possible for a mesh to receive and create shadows ?

[mache]

Hello,

I am trying to generate shadows for a 3D scene with the ShadowGenerator of Babylon. My problem is the following : a mesh can't create shadows and receiving shadows at the same time.

Here is a playground where this is illustrated : http://playground.babylonjs.com/#1R4XE8#1

Let's focus on lines 47 & 48 :

torus.receiveShadows = true;
shadowGenerator.getShadowMap().renderList.push(torus);

If the first one is commented  the torus doesn't receive shadow and when it pass into the cube shadow, it is still highlight.

If the second one is commented the torus doesn't create shadow but when it pass into the cube shadow, it act well.

Finally if the both are uncommented the torus is constantly shadowed (like it is occluding by itself...)

Thanks for any help !

Self Shadow only works fine with none VSM shadow generators:

Nice it's working, but shadows quality is less good.

Thanks a lot

PCF is still available if you prefer.

Contour are more smooth, but some thin meshes are not detected (such as cubes at the bottom right or spheres on the floor).

I'll try to scale my scene bigger.

Thanks again.

I scaled by 5 my scene and it's fitting my needs !
