Right: "Old" shadow system - based on polygons, left: "new" shadow system, based on the render texture. Dots recently included it on my heavy request. The maps geometry and lighting will be fully rendered in 227i, the rest will be done in UT. For those who want to know how I am going to set this up:
1. import static mesh into 227
2. convert to brush
3. export
4. import into ut
5. export again as brush
6. Since MeshMaker can not read the 227 created brushes...
7. package will be opened in 227, mostly contains simple decorations (trees, plants and corresponding textures)
In UT I would not be allowed anymore to modify goemetry and/or lighting anymore. But with some thinking ahead it is not a big deal (groups are of big help).
A small test was already successfull. UT is still able to open the maps both in ued and ingame with the high shadows (the ones on the picture are the highest shadow settings you can set there).
So I think you can finally looking forward for a tropical themed UT1 map finally!! with shadows!
