Does anyone know if it is possible to have a semi-transparent object, say 80% transparent, cast a shadow that is appropriately reduced as well. I'm trying to do a glass canopy that will cast some shadow, but not the solid black kind. I don't want to set up more lights to reduce the shadow, or increase the ambient light level. I just want a "lite" shadow. Any help?
