Ok heres what I did.. I set up the picture then I deleted the ground and made a cube extremly thin and some what transparent. Since I couldnt get vue to shade half the so called ground I put 2 black boxes underneath the ground so it changed the color of the ground. Which produced the shade. I then added 3 lights and a alpha plane.. I then made the alpha plane somewhat transparent and made it so it reflects colored light. So basically when the light, which is really turned up hits the alpha plane it will project the image on to the spheres.. I then created two seperate pictures one with the alpha plane and one with out.. I then headed to photoshop to blend the two images.. Heres a screen shot of vue to show the lay out and the picture will follow in the next post.. I think if I mess with the materials and light more I may just found what I wanted..
