Hi there, i build a scene with as pegasus, when i build the scene, my pegasus drop a shadow on the ground. I thought i don't need a shadow, and turned it off. Now, i need this shadow again, but i can't put him back. I have checked the settings, every light casts a shadow, in my Preview is a shadow, but when i render the scene the shadow is invisible. What can I do?? thx Dirk

heya; when you are working on a scene, there is an option for showing ground shadows. these arent REAL shadows, it's just a projection of the silhouette onto the 'floor' so you can see where your model is. if you want the lights to cast a similar shadow, you need to turn on the groundplane for them to cast the shadow ON. okie? :) (or, you can save the unrendered scene and composite the ground shadow with the rendered scene, if you like.)

Hey man, thanks... I turned the ground plane on and it works... now i have my shadow back... I irritate myself by making a movie with display settings, hehe, all other movies are with rendered settings :-) thx Dirk
