I'm a student, just finishing a course in 3DStudio. For my final project (due tomorrow! Oct. 26), I created a bike & rider and merged the OldTown.3ds mesh file as my background. I placed a spotlight to cast shadows — I first played with a tutorial given to us by our instructor on casting ray traced shadows in the OldTown — and used all the parameters of the tutorial to establish my spotlight in my file. It, however, will not cast shadows. I worked with my instructor & he can see no reason why I cannot get it to work. We checked the attributes of the building and double checked the dialogue boxes for the light. Can you suggest what I could be doing wrong or overlooking? The same light placed in the original OldTown file works perfectly. Thanks for any help anyone can give. I'd still like to know the answer, even if I don't make it in time for my project!
