This is a remark that come back very often, when we discuss about those cloud shadows.
And that's on all the forums.
The fact is that we do not know yet what technique they use for creating those shadows.
Is it a 3D part of the cloud ?
Is it some special effect or module that modifies the lighting of the ground in real time ?
Is it the fact that a cloud is now an AI plane that casts a shadow on the ground just like any other plane ? (I doubt it, the shadow would have been different).
So far, until we know how that was done, we can't say anything about the necessary power... if it needs any additionnal power at all, that is. :/
