Greenhouse roofs.

Does anyone know yet if the glass roofs create shadows below?

    Because the glass roof is simply a "recolour" of all the roof textures, the drywall will still be there.


    Oh so no cool shadows. That plum :(


    I'm pretty sure the roof patterns can be seen in shadows, like the above post ^.
    We did get a pretty good lighting update a while back (made everything pretty), so make sure your settings are high enough for the roof update.


    Thanks for the pictures that you all posted. I'm glad to see they will cause shadows and light.

    My lighting is on ultra because I love the lighting effects to much. I'm glad the roofs do that, I would've been so disappointed if they didnt.


    I was really worried the glass roofs wouldn't work right when we found out the glass was just a recolor(not sure what it's called?) of the roofs. So glad it works as it should with light and shadows.
  • Yeah, I'm sure the glass roofs would work like real glass. XD I always use the glass dance floor as a 'roof' and it does cast shadows.

    Really? Do you play with ultra settings? Because I've used those dance floors a couple of times, and I could swear they cast shadows...


    I did say they cast shadows. XD

    Oh my, sorry about that! It was late and I guess I didn't process words correctly...

    Hah, no need to be sorry. :tongue:
  • Are they only square/rectangular shaped? Or can we make glass domes (like what was over the TITANIC grand staircase)?

    Just wondering...

    @5782341b77vl The round roofs can be made glass as well. There was one in a YouTube build.

    Grrrr. I feared that it would be the case. Thank you for the answer.
