Hello, Is anyone else having trouble casting ground shadows in Poser 5? I've built numerous successful scenes in Poser 4 with three global lights (Main, Reflection, and Ambient), with only the Main light having shadows turned on. I use DAZ's Cyclorama backdrop to accept the ground shadows. These scenes render properly in Poser 4. But with the same scene in Poser 5, figures cast no ground shadows, so all of the figures look like they're floating. I've looked in the manual, reduced the scene to just one figure and the Cyclorama, and tried numerous settings on the Main light's parameters and properties, both shadow mapped and ray-traced, with no visible improvement. Can anyone help? Thanks, Rick
