Description Bruce Luckcuck 2004-02-18 13:31:13 EST 
Regardless of the setting, I can only get "blob" shadows for players and vehicles.

Configuration:
Dual 2GHz G5
2.5GB RAM
OEM ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB
Mac OSX 10.3.2
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2004-02-18 16:08:21 EST 
There's no render-to-texture support in the OpenGL driver, so it's always blob
shadows for now, sorry.

No render-to-texture support in the OpenGL driver?!  What about pBuffers that apple added in 10.3 
(panther)?

(of course this would break compatability with 10.2 and below...but at least it's something)
Comment 3 Ryan C. Gordon 2004-02-19 01:56:01 EST 
Sorry, I meant Epic's OpenGL renderer (called "OpenGLDrv"), not the OS's OpenGL
drivers. Adding support to Unreal for pbuffers would be a real pain, so it
probably won't make it into the retail version.

I'm afraid that I don't even see blob shadows on players or vehicles.  System is a 15" powerbook 
(1.25GHz) with 512MB RAM running 10.3.2.

Hhmm...you're right.  :(

Reopening bug...

Comment 7 Soulstorm 2005-05-04 06:20:07 EDT 
Huh? No render-to-texture support in the OpenGL driver of epic? So, Epic didn't
do this for the mac but did this for the PC?

That means we well never see detailed shadows in the mac version?

Combining bug reports...
