What a great conversation with myself… I figured it out… I’ve switched off all the cast shadow toggles for all my AE lights, and now the TV set is picking up the comp lights. It makes sense… since the Zaxwerks object is on a 2d solid layer if cast shadows were on it just turns it black… so now my new question is… is there any way to get an invig object to cast shadows on the rest of your scene?
