Railworks Signal Construction Question

[Trainguy76]

How have you done the Shadows?

When I try the standard StencilShadow.fx, most of my signal disappears.

I'm only making shadows for the signal mast and the "box" on the backside of the target. Everything else on the signal consists of complex multi-faced objects. Trying to make shadows for those objects would probably turn out very badly.

You have probably already discovered this, but just in case...

Some recommend putting shadow objects into their own group. Thats not necessary unless you want to LOD them. Also, sometimes if for some reason I end up with two sub-groups with the same name, 3DC will export the file to IGS, but it really doesn't export anything. The AsEditor will also preview it, but nothing will show up on the screen.
