In Hawaii, one of the "Lahaina Noon" this year is July 16. This photo is real, not a bad CGI.

Twice a year Hawaii looks like Dark Souls II for a little while.

I love that it looks like some crappy 90's indie game with no shadows.

Yess! This is exactly what I thought of

Saying that it’s not bad CGI is the exact kind of thing someone trying to cover up bad CGI would say.

The trees look even worse. I can't even begin to describe how off they look.

How uncomfortable this is to look at is why good lighting is important in games.

This is from a video game... right? No.. Yes... wait, isn't it?

well a shadow is indeed cast, it's just underneath it. Lift it up, you'll see it.

This isn't cgi
JimFromMarketing
Yes. We know. Thank you.
LAMovieDesign
That’s not correct, though. There is no shadow being cast in this picture. Moving it would change the norm in h/tan, thus casting a shadow.
lonelyrangerofthedreams
Don’t make it weird. Just say your CPU isn’t strong enough and you have to turn off the shadows. Maybe you can also reduce the texture quality.

"Noon" has to do with east/west sun travel. Tropics and "twice a year" has to do with north/south (axis of rotation). This is definitely a thing, but has nothing to do with "noon". It would be half way between sunrise and sunset for any given location. Time zones are too wide for it to apply to all longitudes within.

Hawaii isn't rendered properly. Needs more Dev time.

I know a vampiric level when I see one.

It's in the sun...

And it's about a shadow, not a reflection.

Dracula didn’t cast a shadow either.

Energy Vampires can be in the sun

Are those creatures that get energised by sunlight, then go around squirting extra blood into people?

If you recall, Dracula was walking around in sunlight he just was weaker in it. He also didn’t cast a shadow, or have a reflection in mirrors. That, my guy, is a vampire.

Man that is WEIRD.

Zenith passage!

Unless it's overcast, this is happening somewhere on Earth every second of every day.
GabbyJayYay
Not true. For it to happen, the sun have to be directly overhead. That only happens in the tropics. Also, if you are north of the Tropic of Cancer (which is all of the continental US), at high noon the shadows point north
Oblok
The tropics are 'somewhere on Earth'. The sun is directly overhead somewhere on Earth right now, and now, and now, and now...
petresun
Nope only along the tropic of Capricorn and Cancer. And not that often. Remember the earth tilts 14° to the sun, so this doesn't happen all the time and not everywhere.
Oblok
The sun is directly overhead (solar noon) somewhere, right now. Also, time zone noon and solar (this Lāhainā) noon don't agree in Hawaii.

Rethink what you just wrote...

Between the 2 tropic lines, not just along it

Correct. My bad.

Let's not talk about how everything else is casting a shadow..... VAMPIRE BOLLARDS!
demolitionlover09
Better than vampire bollocks. You drain them then they drain you!
Trisar
Vampires disintegrate in sunlight. It's reflections they don't have. These aren't vampire bollards.
Surisuule
They're the one ring bollards?

I mean… only the things that have overhangs…. Wtf u talking about?

KoRplussomeletters
Ah, yes, you did mention those.
schmonday
The sun is directly above, so things will shadow what's directly below. The sun isn't casting magic no-shadow light.
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Your logic isn't warranted here.... VAMPIRE BOLLARDS

You asked to talk about everything else casting shadows. You brought this on yourself by inviting me into your inbox.

Are you a VAMPIRE BOLLARD
