Hi, I'm trying to render my smoke with depth map shadows, but the mantra node generates a sequence without shadows. If I active the ray traced shadows, then the mantra node generates a sequence with shadows correctly. I'm just following the Houdini manual instructions (it recommends to set shadow type to depth shadows map), but I get a white smoke without shadows. Any ideas? Cheers.

It works fine on my end. Example file?
There's at least one school like the old school!

Hi there, I have attached some photos and the file. As you can see the Render View is always good. But the M-Play or Render to Disk generates a different image. Thanks .
