#Dissapearing SHADOWS

I am having a problem with shadows dissapearing while rendering a large animation. If I render individual frames each has the correct shadows. But if I render a FLC or a sequence of targas either some shadows dissapear or only render in one frame (usually the last). The camera is not moving. Only some objects are displaced in the sequence. I have checked the lights one by one and they all should cast shadows. Any help will be appreciated. I am using a Pentium 90, R3 and have no other effects or routines goin on. -Arturo

>> I have checked the lights one by one and they all should cast shadows. Any help will be appreciated. << sounds like a pesky problem. I suggest messing with the shadow map parameters, if that's what you are using. In particular, bump up the map size a lot. What are they set at? Is the "global" button ON? If so, what's the global shadow settings?
