2.4.1
2014-12-15
Light 1 now does cast shadowing. I'm working on getting cast shadows for all lights, but because of rendering technical limitations it's a bit involved. So until then, I figured I'd update with the one light.
Handy is also in the middle of some restructuring for better lighting/material systems. I appreciate all your patience and support!!
Help keep Handy going by leaving a review!
