Little Dragon...

Oh, I see, it's not another bit-mapped image
file that has to be linked to a node...whew,
because I could not find any such thing!
The word "map" fooled me. It's not here ...


....but rather here, with the dial settings, correct?
In Poser5, "Shadow map" is completely controlled by
the settings on these dials?
It looks like you first decide between two options..
Ray traced shadows
or
Depth map shadows.
Then, do the two dials kick in for which ever
approach you have elected or only for depth map?

Your original comment to me "If you're not using
raytraced shadows, increase the size of your shadow
maps" seems to mean that raytraced is either on or
off, period, but that if depth, I should kick up the
settings on these two dials. Is that correct?

Obviously, from this picture, raytracing of shadows has
been off. I will try a few different things with either, soon.

Last, does that atmosphere dial effect the shadow map, or
is that strictly a separate effect?

Thanks.
