I am not sure I understand this example, or perhaps I presume that what
is visible should cast shadows ;p
Anyway the condition is available now. The old form without condition
still exists.
I have also made a few changes for tranparent objects. In the rendering
dialog there is a new option
near the aircraft checkbox. When enabled the rendering of the aricraft
transparent parts is done
*after* the shadowing code. In other words the transparent parts won't
hide shadows as it
should be. This is how things should be and this option should be
enabled by default. But.
We can agree that a window or a propeler disk is transparent but for the
code a transparent part
is a part that uses a transparent material, ie an alpha channel in his
material or in his texture.
In practice you will see that the new option will break shadows on a lot
of aircrafts. Just don't use
rgba textures where rgb would do the same ;)
