QuickShadows

This tool allows the quick and easy creation of shadow meshes for assets that require it, based on the size of the parent object.

There are 4 different shadow types:

 Simple Shadow - This is a rolling-stock only option, which creates a low-poly shadow using the billboarding technique.
 Low Poly Shadow - This creates a low poly shadow using the progressive mesh collapsing technique.
 Rectangular Box Shadow - This creates a box shadow based on the size of the parent mesh.
 Full Shadow - This creates a full shadow based on the parent mesh without poly reduction.
