Is it possible to have a light in 3d studio cast a shadow only? please help or where is the best 3dstudio forum, can't be this one.

Do this
Multiplier: 0.0
Shadow color: white
Density: -1.0 to 0.0 to adjust intensity (-1.0 is completely black)

nice tip

or go to the exlude parameters of the light, and exclude all objects from being illuminated (but still shadowed)

goodness thats getting a bit kiinky isnt it, DaveM.

I had a whole world of fun messing around with white shadows, took me ages to figue out the whole negative light thing for tweeking a radiosity look (eg removing light under a table etc...)
