[2.1] Shadows issues after Ogre update

[AshMcConnell]

Brilliant, thanks! I will have a look at this after work! It's a strange one as I don't think I changed anything. Thanks for the explanation of how you got there, very useful

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you've forgot to call setShadowFarDistance somewhere in your code.
I've had the very same issue when, during a major rebuild of our engine, I've accidentally removed that call.

@dark_sylinc
Shouldn't SceneManager::mDefaultShadowFarDist have a default value greater than 0.0?
Doing so, shadows will work in a sane way even if someone forget to invoke setShadowFarDistance.

Thanks TaaTT4!

That's exactly what the problem was. I didn't realise it needed to be called at all. I thought it would be one of the params in the shadow node in the compositor script (I copied a default from PbsMaterials.compositor).



Thanks TaatT4 and Dark_sylinc!
