hey guys.I have a scene with some props(decals) that are not meant to cast shadows, in poser7 I can just uncheck cast shadows and all is good. but in poser 2012 and 2014 unchecking this doesn't achieve the same thing,I'm still getting ambient occlusion being cast by the decals.

I can uncheck visible in raytracing but then these decals wont show in reflections

 

so does anyone know how to have a decal that casts no AO and shadows,yet still shows up in reflections?

 

attached image shows a poser2014 render v's a poser 7 render,the white paint lines on the road are the decals,the road has AO in the material

thanks

Stefan
