Tree Shadows

[NoMercy Rider]

I was looking the other day at croteam's maps. And saw that they implemented the tree shadows in the terrain. I was wondering, is there an alternative, and if not, is it possible to do this in terragen, or will I have to use 3D software like Bryce? Thanks in advance.

put ur terrain in ss editor
enable shadows on the terrain
in the freemove mode, (still in ssedit) move high above terrain (obv only possible if ur room is big enough, in order to go high enough)
set the resolution as high as ur comp can handle it.
move the trees in entity mode, (dont recalulate shadows)
take a snapshot. Use this to make a shadowmap.
load ur map b4 u had moved the trees.

Thank you pompey, I completely forgot about this post though :). I had no idea it was so simple :). I will remember that, cause I sadly have no time for mapping at this point :(. But x-mas break is coming real soon, Yippee!

You might want to set the texture to white.tex, so that the shadows are clearer.
