As I dimly understand it... Z-buffered lighting works by rendering a depth map from the viewpoint of the light. Every pixel of that map is really a number that is the distance from the light to the surface point that pixel lands on. then when the real camera image is being rendered, every pixel is checked to see if the surface point it lands on is farther from the light than that same surface point is in the depth map. If it is farther, then that means some other surface is in front of it from the light's point of view and it must be in shadow and should not get the light's intensity added to it's surface color. Apparently this is usually faster than computing an actual ray form teh camera to the light. So why can't this process accommodate the Boolean cutter? I dont' know, but it doesn't.

A forum member has posed this problem... LightSource.prj That is the correct behavior. Only ray-traced lights can accurately account for the shadowing created by boolean cutters. So, with the box as a boolean cutter, the sphere is completely "cut" and casts no shadow from the ray-traced light. The z-buffered light can not handle that complex situation, so even though the box cuts the sphere from the camera's view, the z-buffered light still sees it and a shadow is cast. Interesting way to get a shadow-only pass! I shall remember that!

After some further investigating the artist, Choi Kyong-Ho, is probably Korean, not Japanese. Kim Beom, is the name of the video producer. Although their names have been run together on Youtube, the credits at the end clarify who is who.

You don't really need to download a new install if you already had A:M installed. delete the expired master0.lic file from the AM folder of your expired AM, then run it and it will prompt you for your new key
