Re: Shadow Error

Third try .... no attachments since these fail. The JPG mentioned is at   http://www.neico.co.nz/3d/RS3DImageFilesToPrint.html   and so is the "Guidelines to Getting Image Files to Printers" ... it's not a tutorial.   Anyway, hoping there's an answer to the Shadow error I've run into,   Neil Cooke ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil Cooke To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 1:43 PM Subject: Shadow Error Second post since the the first didnt make it ... so resampled the jpg.   Hi List,   Attached JPG shows a render from a perspective camera and on the right an ortho camera. Analytic cylinders show an incorrect dark artifact that is not possible from the lighting.   I would like to render this scene in perspective but cant beat this thing.   Tried different illumination materials, etc., but all fail . . . although some give strange results within the areas concerned.   Only some cylinders imported or copied from an old file show this thing.   No artifacts show if I select "doesnt cast shadow" for the objects or "no shadows" from the light ... but while the artifact is gone so too is any scene dynamic.   Hoping there's a fairly simple fix since there are about 3,000 of these cylinders in the scene. Meanwhile I'll continue pressing buttons.   Neil Cooke
