I went through the exactly same problems 
To bake shadows of the leafs in blender, you must enable "receive transparent" in the material options
Your scene is really cool !

Re: EnableCameraLayer (4 replies, posted in General)
You don't need to rename the camera in scene2,
so for example, put a new camera in your first scene, name it "Maincam"
Then in script :
scene2 = getScene("scene2")
Maincam = getObject("Maincam")
enableCameraLayer(Maincam, scene2)
function OnSceneUpdate()
...

Topic: SetAnimationSpeed (1 replies, posted in Bug report)
The function is working good BUT ; if you set anim speed to 3 for example, the current animation will play 3 times before it is over (with isAnimationOver), would it be possible to make it count only 1 time per animation, regardless of the anim speed ?

Re: Creating 2D Cutouts for Maratis using Blender and Gimp (Grass Edition) (18 replies, posted in Tutorials/Examples)
Hmm there's still some transparency on the final image, the edges of the main grass/vegetation are also a bit weird
I deceided to try my luck with imagemagick, i'm making a script that automates everything (masking,alpha and combining) it's almost done, only one small problem to correct and it's a one-click win
Gonna post it here once it's ready, could be an alternate method

Re: setCurrentBehavior (11 replies, posted in Scripting)
To make characters look at another entity with the LookAt behavior (like the zombie in This example) personally i have to export the models in that position (or something similiar) :
Then if i need to move them ; addCentralForce(object, {0, 0, -1}, "local")
That's a bit weird but it works =p

Re: Creating 2D Cutouts for Maratis using Blender and Gimp (Grass Edition) (18 replies, posted in Tutorials/Examples)
Nice tutorial, however for me alpha in Gimp never -ever- worked as expected ;
i always get a full semi-transparent image 
Any tips on this ?

Re: need help with blender. (9 replies, posted in General)
@gamemaker, you misread me. I'm saying that export/import is a really tedious task on the long run, hence suggesting blender.

Re: need help with blender. (9 replies, posted in General)
I tried quickly, there's a problem with the bmp ; for some reason they
didn't show up in blender (converting them to png worked)
but yeah, doing it directly in blender would be better, just to save your nerves to export/import all the time

Re: One function for all clones (3 replies, posted in Scripting)
To resume, i'm trying to make an AI that works more or less like a behavior ;
you spawn clones and they automatically receive the movements, animations, statistics etc, so you can spawn as many as you want and don't have to worry about anything
I think i'm getting closer, however i just past 12 hours trying to get that thing working (which still doesn't..), i'm out of juice. note that i'm not using any local or metatables things, that might be the problem..
If you don't mind checking, i'll upload the project i'm working on tomorrow

Topic: One function for all clones (3 replies, posted in Scripting)
Hello, there's one thing that bugged me for quite some time, I want to make a single function working for all clones,
here's a simple picture to illustrate :
I want that when clone A or clone B collides with collision mesh, it start playing animation BUT :
1) not all clones at once (if clone A collides and play animation, clone B should not play)
2) without the need to copy & paste the whole function for each clones using cloneList[1] cloneList[2] etc
Currently i'm using method 2, but that's alot of trouble when i must tweak something
Hope i explained good enough, any tips on this ?

Nice however i noticed two little problems:

- the car's turning is very, very wild. too wild maybe ?
