Ok another shadow question. I have my scene pretty much set up the way I want it now. Only thing is inorder to place the shadow where I want and the size I want I have to turn off cast shadow in my main light sourse and add another light sours placed and sized to get the shadow where I want and the size I want. Only problem is I dont want the light from the second light sourse {the one creating the shadow} to bescene on the wall. Is there a way to cast a shadow with out showing the light? Image gives you a rough Idea what Im talking bout. I like the lighting on the wall in the image on the left but the size and depth of the shadow in the image on the right. Is there a way to get the shadow with out disrupting the light flow of the image on the left? Thanks Elliot

mmm, a challenge. well you could render the scene on the left without the shadow (just the light) then do a render with the light and no shadow. Then paste it using the "overlay" option in photoshop and delete what u dont want. Might be easier to "cut and paste" the shadow and move it where u want it. just a thought!

"Only problem is I dont want the light from the second light sourse {the one creating the shadow} to bescene on the wall." *Turn off that lights ability to cast a shadow in the Light Lab. "Is there a way to cast a shadow with out showing the light?" *Nope, not without post-working it in. AS

You could use a negative light setting to control the light and shadow a bit methinks:-)

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

CLAY!...bows to the bryce god...hey mudball!...hugs Steeleyes if you want to learn this program....try every little bit of information you can get from Clay...he's aewsome. Lighting isnt easy takes alot of playing with it to learn what works and what doesnt. Looks like you're doing pretty good.

yes, set the blue light to "infinite" and turn of cast shadows on the blue light as well.
