Ground with shadow, but with the same color of the background(scene)

How to use the shadow value provided by the light node in NME?

You don’t need to use the shadow output of the lights block: it is already factored into the diffuse and specular outputs. The shadow output can be used for special effects when you need to know the shadow value itself. You made a mistake in your shader: you need to wire the world position to the worldPosition input of the Lights block, not the projected world position: https://nme.babylonjs.com/#57K0R9#3 https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8KWW79#1
