Gnomon: 2D sprite shadows for Godot 4, cast from your own sprites Gnomon is a Godot 4.7 addon that gives every 2D sprite a shadow cut from its own pixels: 48 shadow styles in six families, three nodes (GnomonLayer, GnomonCaster2D, GnomonReceiver2D) and four shaders, in plain GDScript and Godot shading language.
Shadows follow a sun angle, the hour of the day or the lights in your scene, stop at a set length, never darken where they overlap, and sort with your y sorted world. It works with Sprite2D, AnimatedSprite2D and TileMapLayer under Forward+ and Compatibility. Royalty free in your games.
A free lite with 12 of the styles is on this page. # Level # Ground (TileMapLayer or Sprite2D) # GnomonLayer <- between the ground and your sprites # YSort # Player (AnimatedSprite2D) # GnomonCaster2D # Wall (Sprite2D) # GnomonCaster2D # GnomonReceiver2D <- shaded by casters standing in front of it $GnomonLayer.style = GnomonCatalog.load_style("long_evening") Why it exists The usual 2D drop shadow is a translucent copy of each sprite.
Where two of them overlap they get darker, they ignore y sorting, and LightOccluder2D shadows run on forever.
