Am needing to render shadows of modeled text on a background(which I have found to unstable to map to a rectalinear face)and have tried to place a transparent material on a set of flat faces so the text's shadow looks like it is displayed on the background. One strong spot, omni down(30,30,30), ambient way down, all shadow references set to on. I thought I had done this in the past, but it is eluding me. I know its right in front of me…can anyone knock a little sense into me. thanks ian
