  • Shadows visible in custom view but not in active camera

    Posted by David Cabestany on October 18, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    Hello everybody,

    I have a composition with several Illustrator objects against an endless white background, I crated a floor so I could have a surface for the shadows to be casted on, however, some of the objects in the same composition are casting shadows and some aren’t, but if I switch the view to one of the custom views, all the shadows are there, even if I turn them off. I already checked all my settings I do not have the Draft 3d switch on (as some of my shadows are visible). I guess it must be related to the pre-comps and collapse transformations switch, but I just can’t figure it out.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks,

    D.

    Hello

    I have the same problem with shadows, but the object wich doesn´t cast now, when I first put it in the composition, it did cast shadows. I have a first composition, and into this one there is other that has the same problem. I create other new camera and light but still happens.
