Has anyone figured out how to add shadows on the vegetation painter terrain tool?

...and if so, how can I do it with limited programming knowledge?

This is done in the material of the vegetation. I think I covered it in this video around 1.10.

Ok I did all that. I'd seen this before but I just went back to double check. The problem I'm having is that I can see the shadows lying across the ground in the perspective view of the console but when I run the game those shadows are gone. I have the material set to cast shadows and I have the cast shadows option selected in the terrain tool. But still nothing.

Maybe it's worth mentioning that it's the vegetation painter that does this. If I plant the trees one by one the shadows work fine.

If your game light quality settings are either low or medium (or forget which) then the shadows will not be visible.  You have to set light quality to 2 in your game, I think.  On Intel graphics, the game always starts with the lowest quality settings.

Yeah that worked. Thanks, man.
