Hi from Ben Barron I have a ? about shadows in 3ds. I made a file in corel draw it is all black with text in it. I then inported it into 3ds took it to the m-editor made it texture file and opasety file maped it onto a box put a light on it set raytrasing on . the text will not cast a shadow if I turn ray-tracing off the box cast a shadow with R-T back on the box stopes casting a shadow the text shows but no shadow what am I doing wrong ????? thanks BB

Ben, << the text will not cast a shadow if I turn ray-tracing off the box cast a shadow with R-T back on the box stopes casting a shadow the text shows but no shadow what am I doing wrong ????? >> Do you have only one light and you only press adjust/raytrace and see the above behaviour? Simplify your scene, pkzip it up and CIS e-mail it to me. jonas[adesk]
