    Default How do I cast shadows in 3D rendering?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Why do shadows NOT appear even though the SHADOWS ON check box is checked/on? Any help is highly appreciated.
    I use Autocad 2004. Thanks!

    Do you have any light sources specified? Ambient light won't cast shadows.

    There is a 'shadows' checkbox on each light source (view, Render, Light, modify) as well as the one on the render dialog box.
