thanks brian.
Why is it that when i just have the lego piece and a floor object (with composite tag and composite background checked) without any light, the scene is lit perfectly. The floor is pure white. the lego is red (besides red color, it also has red luminance). everything is great. then when i add a light object with shadow caster chekced, everything gets messed up. all i want the light object to do is to cast a soft shadow on the floor to add realism. i dont need any light from it. yet as soon as i add it the lego gets darker – EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHECKED SHADOW CASTER, which i thought is meant to make the light not cast any light, other than create a shadow.
Can you shed any light?!
