Shadows Disappearing in AE CS6
Ok I’ve looked through here and not found anyone with the same problem yet.
I have a load of logos which are fliping around and casting a shadow on a ground plain.
The logos are just a 3D solid layer with masking to create the logos. There were all working totally fine. I saved and went for lunch.
When I came back, one of the logos is no longer casting a shadow. I check the cast shadow settings and the light, these are all fine. No layers on top obscuring it, no shy switch. Just no shadow at all. I went into 2 views (Top and Camera) and on the top view, the shadow is casting just as it should. But in the Camera view it’s not.
Worst still, the more I try and monkey with it, it starts turning the shadow off on other layers too.
Below are showing examples of the working and non-working logos
BROKEN
WORKING
The only thing I can think it might be is the vid is at 4k resolution and it might be using up too much memory for my PC to handle so it’s throwing a fit.

Do you need Ray-traced 3D for something? That would be the first thing I would change.

Yup. One of the first things I tried. Same issue on both raytraced and classic 3D.
