Elusive shadows
-
Opened a new comp with just light, background and logo. All 3D. No effects or layer styles; plain. Custom view does show logo but not shadow. Active view also does not show shadow.

from a front perspective -27 is not enough to see a shadow, either increase the distance by hundreds or move your light
-
but it could be your layer..try using plain text..or render out a png of the logo
-
Per your request I increased both. Still no shadow. Crazy…

Tried it with text.

and the solid is set to recieve shadows? maybe try reinstalling ae?
-
The solid is set correctly. My concern is whether re installing AE will create more problems. Adobe is not supporting older software anymore and I am using Yosemite which should still accept AE CC4 but don’t know if there’s anything on my drive that would put a hitch in it…
May just go to “alternate plan B” and go back to layer styles… :{
Thanks for all your input.

Have you confirmed that you’re not using a funky preview mode?

Preview mode is Off. Don’t know what else to try.

Can you reduce the AEP and post it here so we can take a look?
