I've been thrown into Poser 8 and I'm having a little trouble with shadows. I thought I had read everything there was in the manual, but I guess I'm still not getting it. lol

I have ticked the Shadows box in the manual settings, I've made numerous adjustments with dials in the Light Controls area, but I'm just not seeing anything after rendering. I do see the dark side of the figure (opposite side of the light strike), but no shadow is cast onto the figure. What I mean is...if the hand is laid across the face, I see the dark side of the fingers that re touching the face, but no shadows are cast from the fingers onto the face.

 I have been very fond of Carrara lighting. Shadows were very easy to cast. They were standard with every light. lol Carrara also has an option to receive shadows. I thought that this might be the option that I'm missing in Poser. If it is...I can't find it.

 

 So how do I get my figure to cast shadows on itself...where I can see them?
