Sketchy physics and Shadows?

[wyatt]

Is it possible to run an SP animation with Sketchup shadows on?

Well you can run a SP simulation with shadows, but it will be considerably slower.

If you however record a SP simulation and play back the animation then shadows won't update, they remain static it seems.
You could use Window -> Shadows -> Use sun for shading, that does seem to work with animations, and it is a whole lot faster.

But for any sort of real shading I would say look up Twilight rendering.
