Hey all!

I am rendering a model I made and I am trying to get a raytrace reflection on the Matte/Shadow plane of which I made. I added a raytrace map on that and set it to 12 for the raytrace. Alot of my shadow goes away, and I was wondering how can I get a raytrace reflection and nice soft shadows?

Thanks in advance :)

also, here are my omni light parameters, each light is reference off each other, and my render with the shadows look like crap, i have easily messed with all these light settings for about an hour and still even in other projects i work on the lights are never really good =/
