i used to have that a few years ago, but i've given up on using shadows altogether, as i tend to do video, and the render times were just suicidal... :P

ENSONIQ5:
Volume shadows have never worked properly, something Steve is aware of. Fixing them has been kinda low priority because ray traced shadows work fine and produce a much more realistic effect. Like colclough, I tend to avoid using shadows at all, if I can, due to the long render times. The only times you really have to use shadows is in strong, single light scenarios, basically outside on a sunny day or space scenes, etc. That is for animations of course. For single model renders shadows, especially soft shadows, can make all the difference.

I think that only happens if your floors are 'infinitely thin' (single yellow/blue face) instead of being a 'cube' (yellow/blue-blue/yellow)

Well, I decided to suppress the freight elevator. It wouldn't make muck sense to have one in an apartment building.

So, in interior scenes, you do not use shadows? Well, that raises a problem: How do you prevent lights from illuminating the other floors?

No, the floors are perfect cubes with 10 units of thickness. I can't find any reason.

I love the lift! It looks so...so real! Not sure about the lighting but the lift is fantastic
