Hi All!

I am working on a scene which includes a number of trees and V4.2.  Everything seems to be working well, except the leaf shadows are green!  It looks REALLY bad, especially the shadows on V4.2!  I looked through the settings for the light in the scene, but saw nothing indicating I could change the color of the shadow.

Carrara 8 Pro...

What am I missing? 

Thanks!!!

Kevin

Look at the leaf shader. You must have green in the Translucency channel. Change the Translucency to either black or a much darker (less translucency effect) or a much less saturated(if you don't want the shadows as black) color.

Hope this helps.

Indeed it did!  Thank you...
