Hi, I've been trying, with little success, to have a diferent material where there's shadow (any shadow from terrains or plants). Played with the orientation parameter, trying to make a connection with the sun direction, but I couldn't get what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

Thanks

try connecting functions to the ambient material output.

I'll try that!

What I'm trying to do is to have snow in shadow areas, and no snow in sunny areas (like it happens in real life.)

Thanks.

hmm, ambient may not be all that useful for that setup.

I'm working on a control node for layer alpha channels to create this effect automatically based on the sun position and pitch. I'll post when finished.

Cool!! that effect is going to give a lot of realism to spring-fall scenerios.

I'll wait paciently!

Thanks!
