shadow generate by the program

[Zekra]

Hello,

i just buy this program, and i see items dont generate natural shadow !

do i need to put it myself or they are an option somewhere ?

There are several render styles, though I'm not sure any generate shadow. Definitely something to fiddle with, I suppose.

Personally, I always utilized the lights and shadows to create visuals, but after 10 or more of each, the system is weighed down a bit.

Nothing creates shadows of it's own volition, wouldn't be much sense in it since the program wont really know where you want the shadow to go or where your light sources in a scene are, so you need to add that in yourself.

The best way, or so I find, is to copy the thing your wanting to shadow, change it's brightness to -100, increase it's transparency slightly (however much you think works) then turn of ratio lock so you can stretch and pull as desired.
