I'm not sure this is the right place to pose this question but here goes anywise. First I'm using the 3d world-kit for Poser. (If you haven't tried this kit your missing out on a really great and easy to use product that extends your ability to create outdoor environments in Poser). My problem is I can't seem to get any shadows to show up on any of the 3d grounds in the package. Anybody else had this problem. I know it's got to be something I'm overlooking but I've played around a bit can't seem to nail down the problem.

I think the Vorlons destroyed all the Shadows on that world. ...sorry, couln't resist.

Man, I knew it was something like that. You take the aluminum foil off your monitor for just one day and theres just no telling what kind of aliens creep into your 3D worlds. You gotta keep vigilant man. Their out there waiting.

Are you using the standard Poser light settings or the ones that come with the 3D World Kit? I use the standard Poser lights and tweek them to the settings I want. No problem showing shadows. Might want to try that.

Check out my "Old West Scene" in my gallery to see what I mean.

Yeah, the lights... the kit's light sets put a whole bevy of lights in the sky and I think most of them have had shadows turned off. If you want to use the kit's lights, heck the properties and the size of the shadow map for any light you want to cast a shadow.

Yes, your right. If I turn down the front light the key light shadow now shows up. Man, I don't know how I missed that when I was playing around with it.
