Oh, okay -- I already knew that. I was just a bit confused by online promotional ads for Poser 7, which state... "Shadow Catching: Poser 7 features true to life shadow effects, making image composition and 3D figure integration easy. Using the Shadow Catcher, you can separate shadows from their underlying surface and put them virtually anywhere."
Not sure how else to interpret that... What else could it mean? And is it just wrong?
EDIT: I think I just answered my own question. You could create two identical objects. On one object, set visibility ON, but turn shadows OFF. On the other, turn visibility OFF, but turn shadows ON. Then, move invisible shadow-casting object to wherever you want. Viola, shadow has moved.
Thanks for making me, you know, think about this! LOL!
