Hi.

I created a lantern object with an sphere glass and putted into it a spotlight to make it illuminate. The problem is that this light don't proyect shadows. I enabled the Shadows in the SpotLight properties but mi character near the lantern doesn't proyect shadows. Are the shadows specific of the surface shaders of mi character or if the spotlight's shadows are enabled all non transparent objects on the scene must proyect shadows?
I wan't to create the tipical scary face half shadowed by a lower lantern but all the surface of my characer are lightful.

Thanks

Could you attach the scene file?

I suspect you have to remove your glass object from the Lights Shadow Mask. Either that or specifically list those objects that you want to shadow.

What is probably happening is that your glass object thinks it is casting a shadow therefore the light continues on. Can't tell for sure. Need the scene file.
