Yes! that was it Bear and I feel dumb. Thanks for that suggestion. So so simple, I was wondering what the heck was going on. Thanks for everyones help! Always appreciated!

Cant post, but Yeah same here with the shadow, BUT it seems that if you take the parallel spots enable visible light, then extend the outer distance, the extended light shines through?

[Jon Herron]

Yeah I enabled shadows and tried, and just turned it back off. Its wierd. I did a test in a different scene with a spot and a parrallel spot next to each other aimed at a plane. Again the parrallel spot goes through the plane while the spot does not. Then I put a slim solid cube in front of two lights (just testing to see if the parrallel spot didn’t like the flat plane) BUT again the parrallel spot wants to go through the geometry. I dont know, anybody?? Cinema masters, gurus,…help

thanks guys

nevermind

Thanks Nolan!!

Anybody??

[Jon Herron]

Well I kinda got it to work. But the top of the plane model’s “curtain” new anchor bone are being shift down and not actually connecting to the geometry. Sorry its probably something simple but I dont know what Im doing. Another thing how does Michael get his bones to flow or rest back down vertical in the render view. If you move them back and forth they flow like hair and settle? dynamics?

thanks again
