Oh one more - if you're using IBL you must use ambient occlusion (AO) or you'll be missing shadows again.
Once more, there is a quick way that results in slow renders - just turn on AO on your IBL light. It will apply to your whole scene, and slow the render down terribly.
The "more work" way that results in very fast renders is to apply AO in the material room, only where needed. You also get better results this way as you can control the parameters for different parts of your scene.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
