Shadow glitching with boxes

[Imdsm]

I have a bunch of boxes, when I enable PSSM shadows, they glitch like so:

This happens not only when I add each box (with it’s own shadow mode) to a node and the node to the rootNode, but also when I use GeometryBatchFactory and give the optimized spatial a single shadow as well.



[java]

Spatial optimizedBoxes = GeometryBatchFactory.optimize(boxes);

optimizedBoxes.setShadowMode(ShadowMode.CastAndReceive);

rootNode.attachChild(optimizedBoxes);

[/java]



Is this normal? Is it because I’m just using colours and no textures? The shadow on the ‘floor box’ below it seems perfect.

you have to make sure that the PSSMShadowRenderer is before the FilterPostPorcessor in the processor queue.

Even with no FilterPostProcessor added, it still glitches.



I checked viewPort.getProcessors().size(), it is zero before I add the pssmRenderer.



If nothing is moving, the glitch is stationary, but still there. If the camera or the object moves, it flickers.

I’ll test your test case

I have noticed this happening on single cubes, much less visible than on the group of them though.
