Hello! Recently I have updated Houdini to version 17. Not really a huge problem but doesn't seem to show the shadows inside the DOP network. If I visualize the same volume outside of DOP context of course it works perfectly. In the smokeobject I have tried increasing the density scale but still no shadows.

I guess there is an option somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, this sounds like it could be related to visibility settings for external objects. Try changing from “Ghost other objects” to “Show all objects”. It's a small icon above the viewport on the right. You can also toggle this setting from either Ghost or Show to Solo by pressing Y.

Hi Rob. Thanks for the reply. I have tried this and also to change the various type of lighting on the right of the viewport, but none of them have been able to affect the volume shadows.
