Hi, I have Poser 4 + Pro Pack but allways when I render a image I habe no shadows on the ground!? What do I wrong? I send everthing on "ON" in the rendermenu. Even Cast Shadows... Can anybody help me?

Hmm... I can only think of two things... 1) Is the ground plane actually turned on (I know that seems really simply, but you never know)? 2) Are any of the lights pointing to where they would cast a shadow on the ground? Try starting a new render. Turn on the ground plane, load a box prop, and move it so that it is off the ground. Delete all of the default lights. Create a new light, make sure it's a spotlight, then set all of it's trans and rotate parameters to 0. this should let you see the outline of the spotlight in your window. Click the spotlight, and go to Object(I think)->Point at. Point it at your box... then move the spotlight up on the Y until it's above the box and shining light down onto the box. Try rendering that... it should cast a shadow onto the ground... this will at least let you see if there's something really wrong, or if you just need to fiddle with where the lights in your scene are pointing. I hope that helps...

are you using default lights? maybe a pic would help...

yeah I get that to, not to mention when I throw a texture on the groud that doesn't show either. so what I do is put a square on the ground and use that instead.

What do you mean "ground turned on" ? I set the color to white but where can I turn ground on or off? I tried a new rendering with a ball, delete all lights and create a new but no shadow appears :-(

Shadowcolor is set to white ..........

just hit ctrl+g to turn the groundplane on

Thanks! I think i should better read the manual next time ;-) But I prefer LEARNING BY DOING

hehehe, me toolol
