three.js: Shadow problems with THREE.DirectionalLight and THREE.MeshBasicMaterial

Hi everybody!

i want to upgrade three.js to R73 in my current project. Unfortunately, i’m getting strange shadows casted by a THREE.DirectionalLight on a THREE.MeshBasicMaterial. Check out the following screenshots:

three.js R72 👍 shadow_r72

three.js R73 👎 shadow_r73

As you can see, the shadow in R73 is totally black.

adding shadow material meshbasicmaterial cant cast shadow anymore, use the new shadowMaterial instead. https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/7617#issuecomment-157861611 — committed to weiserhei/threejs-experiments by weiserhei 8 years ago

Was trying to get softer shadows and then discovered a trick of using emissive color on the object receiving the shadow. This might help someone.
