Got A Question For The 3D People

[Grim Killer]

Well, I don't know if the mods would get mad about this topic.

But I do know many people on here has used 3ds max.

Well I'm trying to learn it and I have found something I can't figure out. On the SkyLight, under render and cast shadows. It's not active and wont let me activate it? So I can't get the light to cast the shadows. Whats up with this, and how to fix it?



Google is no help on this one...

Anyone?

I tried alot of things and couldn't get it to lock me out. Have you tried to open max in a new file and make a new primitive just to see if there is a problem with the software? Have you checked all the viewport settings? Right-click in perspective and see if changing any of the settings help.

Select your skylight, go to the modify tab, look for a render box, check Cast Shadows.

Nugget yes that what I'm talking about its darken and not letting me set it.

And it been everytime new file and all, I've even updated the software and nothing.

Try calling Autodesk support. They're usually pretty nice.
