Ok, here is where the light/shadow thing plays in, I was attempting to make a scene somewhat like something I saw in a tutorial on brycetech - the explosion/wall tutorial. I added a burning object but it is casting a shadow on the wall, I want it to appear like it is closer to the viewer ad not as close to the wall. I could move all the objects or resize them but I think it would degrate the quality. Perhaps a picture wouldhelp you. Here is what I have so far.
