I loaded dork's obj above and looked at it through my shadow cams. I have 3 lights, IBL, Main (infinite), and Rim (infinite). The Rim light is the 3rd light. Looking through the main light shadow cam everything looks fine. Looking through the Rim light shadow cam, the little room has "hither" clipping going on, unless I change it to a spotlight. The Main light does not have this problem.
I restarted Poser and loaded James. He, too, is hither clipped when looking at him with my 3rd light shadow cam.
It's like the 3rd light, when set to infinite, is very close to the center of the scene, and I can't adjust hither low enough to fix it. Based on the perspective, the camera is not actually that close.
Anybody else seeing this? I'm using Poser Pro here.
If you're getting this hither clipping going on, then the surfaces cannot cast shadows.
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)
