Yea, got to admit I've had no time to try anything here. I had to get a membership to a gym cuz of my 12 hours per day sitting at the comp. Poser should come with a lifetime membership...LOL! I'm going to check the following things tonight I hope. That cast shadows is turned on for the objects. That maybe a receive shadows option was added and I don't know about it. That would be very cool if an object would not cast shadows, but would receive them. Forgive me if there's a way to do this, and I'm not aware of it. If all else fails I'll rebuild the file in SR4 and see if this helps. Maybe the lights from a pre SR4 file don't work properly. Cheers!
