Subject: shadows please, no thanks on the light
Date: Thursday, April 27, 2000 9:29 AM

is it possible to have a light cast a shadow behind an object, yet not cast
light on to that object.  ie. i want a shadow from that light, but no
additional illumination.  can't seem to figure how.  i've tried the light's
include/exclude shadow casting with no luck.  maybe i'm using it
incorrectly....maybe that's not what the tool is designed to do.  i've read
the online help's explanation on include/exclude until i'm cross-eyed.  any
ideas?  aware of matte shadow material capabilities, but can't use it in
this instance.  almost remember reading a post a short time ago about
someone having a plugin out there that does what i need.

thanks
