Are you sure you are using the new version? This is the important part
If you have a previous version of PyPRP installed, uninstall it by removing all files starting with prp_ (or alc and uruprp_ for even older versions) from your Blender scripts folder. Unzip the file and move the PyPRP folder (the whole folder, not the files in it – this has changed from previous versions) into the Blender scripts folder.

Yes, I'm sure. Everything older than V1.6 got deleted.

Ok, it's February. I'm working on the age again.
Have a look, what I've found there!

It's just a design test. I've created the dagger within 90 minutes. I think I will give it another texture that makes it look older and rustic.
Cheers, Jonnee

Nice. The current texture looks like sedimentary stone.

Wow, you made that pretty quickly! Could you keep your original texture and add another texture with an Alpha layer, to show cracks, fungi, dirt etc? Sorta like how Cyan did the desert floor at the Cleft?

By the way: Which button and value sets the hardness of the shadow's edges? I don't remember right now.
A hard cut shadow on the dagger would look much better.
Hugs, Jonnee

That looks awesome. Really, wow!

It's beautiful! Talk about a transformation.
Edit: Isn't that the Hard button under Map To in Materials?

Are you talking about dynamic or baked shadows?

Oh, I don't know the difference between both of them.
I'm talking about the usual shadow that an object has if it is affected by a light group.
No, the hard button sets the strength of the light shine on the material.

I like the last one...It seems that there are discrepancies between the first post

and the final one, that I dearly love BTW

First of all, your sky is working beautifully and I'm sure you are standing just a bit left of the first pic?
Nice job..I pick #2
