Shadows block all lights? Software: Away3D 4.x

empend, Member Posted: 06 November 2011 08:25 AM Total Posts: 77 I have a directional light casting shadows, and a point light in the scene. The shadows block light from both sources. Is this a known problem, or can I fix it some how?

empend, Member Posted: 06 November 2011 09:53 AM Total Posts: 77 [ # 2 ] The shadows are there, and do work with the directionalLight, but the shadows shouldn’t block other lights. Which the shadows are blocking the other lights from lighting up the shadowed areas. I have a directionalLight casting shadows perfectly fine. Then I have a point light right over a shadow, but the shadow blocks the pointLight light. Understand?
