Compositing 3d Composition Cast shadows
I’m in need of help. I’m creating a fairly complex lower third using AE.
You can find an example of the problem here. https://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/spamsaver/?action=view¤t=LowerThirdbadexample.flv
A screenshot of my composition here.

https://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/spamsaver/?action=view¤t=LowerThird.flvI currently have a solid that is masked into 6 or 7 triangles. I have created this in a seperate composition in 3d space so that I can have a good lighting effect as they appear. The problem is when I go to render a final with an alpha, it renders out with the shadows since it has no underlying video. I need that removed since this will be a permanent element that we don’t want to be confined to a particular compositing mode. If you know of a work around, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Yeah, I tried that also.
You can see my material settings here.

Yeah, I tried that to.
You can see my light settings here.

This one has got me baffled. If anyone can think of a work around, I’d be interested in trying it.Thanks again for any help,

Well I checked all the shy layers just in case an no change. If I turn off the starburst layer’s visibility the “shadow” vanishes. So that leads me to believe the problem is lying in the starburst comp.
