Great! For the benefit of future readers who may be referred to this thread for the same problem, can you tell us what you found that was wrong?

I -love- the shadow I get with the lights now. The shadows under her hands..the shadows from the leaves....lovely. Now I can continue building the scene! I may be back for more advice ^.^

Sorry you seemed to have missed my question. can you tell us what you found that was wrong?

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)
