Perfect, thank you so much, that fixed it immediately! For anyone else struggling through this:

Make sure your light has the same name as specified in Shine settings (source point name)
Adjustment layer goes right at the top

Thanks again, was totally stuck with that.

Thanks so much for your help. Your advice worked perfectly for getting the arms to show above the desk.

When it comes to the reflection, if I’m understanding you right I need a separate composition with just the inverted character (2d) and a copy of the camera. Then I would put this comp into my main timeline. After this I’m a bit confused as to how I then use this as the matte. Currently the layers are:

arms
desk matte (alpha inv arms)

No matter how I arrange it, I can’t seem to successfully add the reflection into the mix. If the camera angle changes, do I need separate comps each time this happens with the reflection and camera copy?

Thanks again for your help,

Gareth
