Well, I just discovered the function that lets you render to a texture. To get the effect you could use that function.

Ok I've found an old account credentials browsing on my HDD. ^ ^ Gonna post some stuff.
However I don't know how to:
-edit own issues (guess you can't)
-change Defect/Enhancement type (guess you can't)

I understand but we are not going to multiply bug trackers.

Problem is I hate google asking for your cell phone.
I would prefer something like http://www.mantisbt.org/

No you can't do anything with plugins either: MObject3d is missing the enableShadow() method.
If someone confirms I'm correct I'll post in the feature request topic.

Whew. This is a tough one. I thought about making a clone of the object and going from there, but the clone still casts shadows.

The issue is that either the light is going to cast shadows or not. And if it is not casting shadows on one object, then it is not casting shadows on the other.

I don't know how the Behavior system works, perhaps that would do it? Going to follow this one.

What if I want an object not to cast shadow and another object near it to cast it?
Looks like you can only edit the light.
