Chasing The shadow... What's wrong with this final render picture?

lord Adam

Hi there!
I just render final scene for THRONE ROOM. I add some lights for this scene: 4 - LINEAR POINT LIGHTS for big candles and 4 - POINT LIGHTS for small candles. As you see on the pictures below there is no shadow for my figure (Grace based on Vici 5). Do I have to add one more light in front of figure to see shadow behind back Vici5??

Are the shadows turned on for your linear point lights, and are you using falloff? If you are using falloff, is the falloff end reaching beyond the figure?

A note though, it looks like most the light is behind the character so you wouldn't see much shadow as most the front will be shadow.
If you want more shadow beyond the linear point lights you have, you can try a spot light (with shadows turned on) off to one side.

Note that Depth Mapped shadows don't work with point lights, even though they are available in the list for Shadow Type.
