Um ... How did you turn off that shiny-plastic look in preview again? Bugs the heck out of me, and dinking with the settings I see in the mat room doesn't change anything. (PPro2014, Display|Preview Drawing = OpenGL h/w)

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Ian Are you using OpenGL with H/W,which is located under Render settings-> Preview-> Enable Hardware shading and Optimize simple materials ?

If yes please turn off both and try again,as this will take big hit on performance if you do have both enabled,I would rather use Raytrace window for showing how shadows works and how G2F looks or do test render with just Area render if you want to see how she will look

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura
