Hi

how do I set a light to project a shadow map onto a scene?

Like they have done on this image

You can see on the wall the shadow map, which gives it the illusion there is a tree over the scene and the sub in casting through it.

Didn't manage to see the image you supplied, but I assume you're talking about a light-gel.

Make a new material. Apply the texture in the transparency channel. Assign the material to your lightsource, preferably a spotlight.

Thanks, yes it was a Light-Gel.

I didn't know the technical name for it
