Hi, everyone. I recently picked up an old short film project of mine. It's half-love action, half-animated, and so I'd naturally want the mixed scenes to feel 'right' together. I generally do this with 4, or in sparing cases, 3 passes: basic, alpha, ambient occl., and shadows.
However, most recently, shadows have not been rendering. No matter what I do- whether it's toggling objects' 'casts' and 'recieves' parameters, using different types of lights and shadow modes, even using different renderers, I have been able to produce the furthest thing from a shadow.
What I have is an entirely green object sitting directly on top of a green plane. The object should cast the shadow on the plane... I've tried nearly everything, short of switching to a different geometric renderer thingy (box, pyramid, etc...)
I neeeeeeeed help, does anyone know why this is happening?
-
View->Preferences->File Output->Make sure Shadows is checked
Just to verify, the attached file should render with shadows. If it does then you've got a problem with your scene setup. If it doesn't then you have a problem with your settings.

Oh.... well, Raxx, I guess I tried everything short of that.
It worked. I can't believe I make SOOO many topics with such easy fixes. Thanks again, Raxx, for saving me from yet another embarrassment.

"... half-love action,..."
Heh heh, I haven't seen Anim8or used to create that sort of film yet, but there's a first time for everything!!

Lol. Didn't even notice that's on there.... I'm gonna leave it. :)
This'll be good, however. There pretty much no moving shots, it's well composited, so overall it'll be pretty good.
