Hi Dr Geep. I've learned a lot from your excellent tutorials over the years, so this is a good opportunity to say thank you. But I'm surprised you haven't seen any misaligned shadows. Maybe you are rendering with Firefly and ray tracing. When I do the problem doesn't arise, but sometimes I prefer Poser 4 type rendering, especially when there is less time available and a simple render is needed. So, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, it is with Mapped shadows that it occurs.

Unless I very very carefully setup a shadow light camera and tweak it to a very precise angle and coverage the shadows are nearly always non-aligned. I can't post an example at the moment because I am not at home. What I don't quite understand is that an "infinite" light is meant to emulate the sun, and you'd have to travel a very large distance to see a different alignment of shadowing from the sun. So it surprises me that in a relatively small room the shadows are way off unless you focus the shadow cam very tightly on the objects you want shadowed.

It seems from other posts that this is an inherent fault with renders which are based on non ray traced shadows. Or have I missed something?
