Any way to prevent area lights from casting shadows? Tried all the usual C4D settings, opacity of lights at 0 etc.?

Cheers!

Sorry - I meant the light itself casting a shadow on a surface (the rectangular shadow of the area light itself is appearing)...

we have no option to provide shadowless lights. Only way is to put objecttag to some objects and close shadow visibility
