No idea why I can't cast a shadow on the ground plane when I can on other objects, Marque. I went and tried it in Poser 5 (never tried casting shadows on the ground plane in that) and it wasn't a problem, so maybe it's just a bug in my particular installation of P4. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've never considered it a particular problem for the way I'm using Poser. =^} Glad you've got things working now, Totoro!
