- Description:
- BRING YOUR SHADOWS TO LIFE!!! The Shadow Casting System dynamically generates 2D colliders for object shadows, allowing them to interact physically with the environment. It works by casting rays from a light source to detect shadow outlines, then constructs accurate colliders using a convex hull algorithm. This system is highly customizable, supporting various 3D objects and lighting setups. It is ideal for puzzle games, platformers, and physics-based mechanics where shadow-based interactions enhance gameplay. By adjusting light settings and object properties, developers can fine-tune the visual and physical behavior of shadows to fit their project's unique style. This asset uses various 3D models and sprites under the Creative Commons 0 license.
- Technical Details:
- Dynamic Shadow Colliders: Generates real-time 2D colliders for shadows based on object geometry. Raycasting System: Casts rays from the light source to detect shadow outlines on the wall. Convex Hull Algorithm: Calculates the perimeter of the shadow to create an accurate collider. Real-time Updates: Recalculates shadows when the light source or objects move. Customizable Light Behavior: Toggle light on/off and adjust shadow properties. Optimized Performance: Uses Unity’s Mesh API and NativeArray for efficient vertex processing. Easy Integration: Works with any convex 3D object and supports custom light setups.
