Yes I forgot to turn them on in settings when I took the photos but the
Shading is on as you can see on the railing in photo 3 from the top.

I see what you mean. Some pillars have shadows, but other objects like the compass binnacle and the main turrets and numerous other parts, are not casting shadows. Are shadows coded separately for various model parts?

Not when your talking inner's like wheel house and turrets 15 to 20000 ploys
Is not any way near enough and it was talked about putting on full railings and
That would had made the ship way over the ploy limit we set.
What you see there is just under the 40.000 limit we have.

Are you able to freely roam around the ship, so the whole ship model still needs to be present, even when you are just in the wheel house. If the wheelhouse was modelled as a discrete location, like an aircraft cockpit, wouldn't most of the model be omitted when in wheelhouse mode?

Even if you can roam freely presumably the lower part of the hull is out of view and could be omitted?
