One of the reasons I switched to using apps other than Poser for rendering was that my shadows in Poser would often not show up - especially on floors that were not the default ground...

It kept bothering me, so I just moved on to other applications.

Look at this old image of mine:

I have no idea why there is no shadow on the ground in there...

By contrast all of my Vue, Bryce, and Carrara work shadows are there, and even in other 2002 work it was sometimes a feature:

But of course much moreso now:

I've only ever had one Poser render in which I felt the shadows worked:

But it took me 29 spotlights to get that...
Poser just doesn't seem to be very shadow friendly from my experience. Maybe Poser 6 is an exception.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
