How does one achieve first person shadow?

[rebalenciaga (chaewony)]

I want to achieve the same shadow effect where the player head is visible and the shadow reacts to the sunlight and the dynamic lights. I’ve searched everywhere on the internet (including here) but to no avail.

You can’t just loop through all the BaseParts in the character model and make them CastShadow true?

[rebalenciaga (chaewony)]

the property castshadow on the character model are already set to true by default, looping it wouldn’t change anything

Try setting the ShadowSoftness to 0.

may u elaborate why this might work? how does this replicate the player’s shadow?

[komet01_DASH]

local function CharacterTransparency(_)
	for _,v in ipairs(humanoid.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
			if v.Name == "Head" or v.Name == "Torso" or v.Name == "UpperTorso" then
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0.74
			end
		end
	end
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(CharacterTransparency)

Try this code

Can you show player shadows in first person? (Shadowmapping)

The only way around this that I can think of is creating a duplicate of a player’s character behind the actual player far enough so that the player won’t see this clone. It will show the player’s shadow in first person, however you need to constantly position and rotate the clone’s body parts to the player’s body parts to avoid a static shadow effect.
