Point light sources do not create shadows

[sastanin]

Point light sources do not create shadows. In this scene two objects and a yellow light source are in the shadow of a bigger object. There are no shadows behind the left columns, and the floor is illuminated like if they were not there.

FlexSim 19.0.0.

Sorry, I posted it to the wrong Space. Please move it to FlexSim / Development.

This is by design. FlexSim's shadow map currently only works with the first light source and only as a directional light. I will update the View Settings documentation to explain this limitation.

We are currently working on implementing a new shading method using ray-tracing that allows for more shadow-casting lights and for point-source shadows. Below is a short video demonstrating the feature. It is still a work-in-progress.
