Marcus Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Is it possible to have a light in a lightlist so that the light itself only affect one model, but still have that model cast a shadow on other objects? How would I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 4, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes. pair a light with shadows ON with an identical light set to negative intensity with shadows OFF. That pair will cast a shadow from an object but not light anything. Next add one more copy of the first light, with shadows off, and light list it to only light your object. Of course all three lights are placed and aimed identically. I presume there's some other light in the scene, otherwise the shadow cast by the object will not be seen amidst the darkness.
