I was hoping that upgrading to Poser 7 would fix this, but it's even worse than Poser 5/6. Maybe I just haven't read the manual thoroughly enough. It doesn't matter whether I use Poser 4 or Firefly rendering, or what settings I use, or whether I use infinite or spots, or any shadow method, the shadows from even a simple object are not in alignment. For example a simple cube on a simple floor. The shadow NEVER intersects with the object. It is permanently displaced.

The only way to fix it is in photoshop after render. The worst example of this is with table legs or long thin objects. In this case the shadow doesn't even meet the bottom of the object. This problem has been driving me nuts for years but I thought it was just a flaw in Poser. Sincerely hoping it isn't so could someone please explain how to adjust Poser so the shadows fall as they should, guaranteed, every time.

Thanks.
