    So I’ve been working with a scene for a while now. I’ve added a volumetric light and everything is rendering properly until I place an object in the light. I cannot get any volumetric shadows to render.

    I created a new document and tested the same setup from scratch and it worked perfectly. Is there something I may have done to break volumetric shadows on this document?

    You could try lowering the Sample Distance under the Visibility tab. That has worked for me.

    Somehow I had enabled ‘Motion Source Render Data’ under the Render menu instead of ‘Render Setting’ and this was causing the interactive render region to not show volumetric shadows.

    I figured it must be a render setting out of whack when I tried rendering to the picture viewer and got a low resolution wireframe image.
