I'm hoping there is a really simple answer to this one - it would seem as though there should be - I am totally at a loss . . .

I have a scene that I have been working on that I opened up today and could not get any shadows out of the key light. I have extracted everything out of the scene and left only a plane, a cube and a spot light.

Would you guys mind taking a look to see what I have missed? I can't get a shadow mapped or ray traced light either in MR or maya.

cheers,

Well that one almost had me stumped!! But not quite, ;)

At the very bottom of your Mental Ray render globals in the passes/layers section, you've got passes tuned on and are only rendering the diffuse pass. If you turn that off it works again.
