Self shadowing hangers

Looking for something new, I went across the pond and found these:

Hi jdhaenens,
How did you do that? Does it hurt frame rate a lot?

It's an option in the FlightSimX material, which can give you volume shadowing. Of course it will cost some performance, but on some objects that can be worth the better look.

The rules are pretty simple, you must apply the material with "volume shadow" checked to manifold part. that part will then self shadow.
