Using Shadows and Lights
Basically if I have an object lets say a ball floating over the ground. I animate a null and have the ball rotate or cam rotate around the ball. How do i put shadows on ? I know how to apply lights but I totally went blank with the shadows and also do i apply the shadow to the ball or to the ground? Another post said it was kind of tricky a while back someone was applying the shadow to the wrong object. What im trying to say in the end is i want the ball to cast a shadow onto the ground floor. Thanks in advance

Basially you need to make sure the Cast Shadows, Accepts shadows options are “On”, this is under the Material Options for the layer (twirl down). Also create a light, with cast shadows on (default I think). A great crash course on this is at Rick Gerard’s tut:
Other great stuff on cameras, etc by him, just go to the green left column under the Cow and:
