Has anyone been able to use the “generate shadow mask” feature with GI ?, or specifically with skylights only.
I reported this not working with v6.5, Matt pointed me to the “workspace” demo project, but that project doesn’t use shadow masks, nor does it seem to be producing much of a shadow (if any) on the underlaying surface anyway… Thx

Hi Reuben,
The Shadow mask feature does not work with GI.
However- you should be able to accomplish something similar with the layer system.
With objects set on a layer above the background, and a completely white ground plane set to multiply, you should be able to achieve this effect.
Hi yeah, Igors pointed that out on the EI forum, i’d never got a clear answer before and was obviously flogging a dead horse 
I’ve been trying the layer system but haven’t got exactly what i want so far, everyones saying its so simple to use, and it is but maybe i’d better RTFM
